How to Install Aluminum Welding Wire?

Aluminum welding wire is also called aluminum flux-cored welding wire, so this kind of welding wire can be named after aluminum and aluminum. It is different from ordinary aluminum welding wire, which needs to be welded with an argon arc welding machine, but can be brazed directly by flame or induction (because it comes with flux, no additional flux is needed).

The tensile and shear strength of the workpiece welded by aluminum welding wire (the joint firmness is not lower than the base material), electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance are all good, and the quality is stable.
Compared with the use of argon arc welding machine, the use of aluminum welding wire is simple to operate, the welding equipment is simple, and the welding will not change the structure of the substrate.

What is the correct way to install aluminum welding wire?

1. The retaining ring of the wire feeding wheel only serves to prevent the rim from falling or moving too much during the wire feeding process, and should not be tightened too tightly. Otherwise, the embedded screws are easy to fall off or loosen.
2. The wire feeding hose will be full of dust and iron powder in long-term use, and the wire feeding resistance will increase, so it should be arranged frequently.
3. When the wire feeding tube is relatively new after a period of use, compressed air can be used for cleaning. After the wire feeding tube is worn, it should be soaked in organic solvents such as kerosene, gasoline, and alcohol for cleaning.
4. When replacing the wire feeding tube, choose a suitable tube according to the diameter of the aluminum welding wire, and cut the length of the tube according to the actual length of the gun.
5. In addition, the diameter of the contact tip on the wire feed tube should be selected to match the diameter of the welding wire. For example, for aluminum welding wire with a diameter of 1.2, it is recommended to choose a contact tip with a size of 1.2a for the best effect. When the aperture size of the contact tip is inappropriate, replace it in time.
6. Under the condition of meeting the working radius, it is recommended to use a standard 3m gun. The welding torch cable must not show a dead bend (no coil or S-shaped bend smaller than Φ400mm) in use, especially where the torch handle and the cable are adjacent.
7.The rotating direction of the welding wire coil should be clockwise, not counterclockwise.
