Harris® Alloy 26 Aluminum Stick (SMAW) Electrode

Harris® 26 aluminum alloy electrode features a precise combination of core alloy and coating, providing high speed deposition of dense, machinable welds. It is widely used on sheets, tubes and extrusions. Also suited for torch applications.

Features

• Produces strong, porosity-free welds without excessive spatter or fuming
• Precise combination of cored wire and coating, providing high speed deposition of dense welds
• Good corrosion resistance
• Good electrical conductivity
• Silver color is a good match to aluminum
• On heavy sections, joints should be beveled to form a 60◦ to 75◦ vee
• pre-heat heavy sections to 500◦F (260◦C) to flatten bead and reduce amount of amperage required
• Widely used on sheet metals, tubes and extrusions for thicknesses of 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) or more
• Typical applications include joining aluminum alloys (sheets, plates, castings and extrusions) with thicknesses of 1/8 in. (3.18mm) or more
• Used on torch applications
