Yeah my rod finally came in, and wouldn't you know it, just finished an aluminum job last week. We'll have another one soon enough.

I'd like to try some just for giggles, but probably +95% of my aluminum welding requires 5356, the other 5% is a toss up of other misc alloy fillers. No one around me stocks any and 10 lbs of 4943 would probably last me longer than it would oxidize to powder.

sent you a PM................

Yup, Hobart aluminum guru, got an aluminum alloy you need to join, he'll get you the right stuff in a heartbeat.

We use the crap out of it on about half of our work
It really does anything we use 4043 for, better.
In fact we haven't bought any 4043 for over 2 years.......we have very little use, if any, for it.

Galen was kind enough to forward the link to me..............

I agree, and I am one of those not yet familiar with this rod. Thanks to this forum I was recently made aware of this rod and ordered 10 lbs. of it, still waiting for delivery. Apparently the Prax-Air store I deal with doesn't know much about it either. That article was very good. Thanks H80N
