6000 is a universal aluminum electrode for arc welding aluminum alloys. The arc is stable and operates at low temperatures with a minimum of spatter and fuming. The welds are strong, dense and free of porosity on both production and maintenance applications. 6000 is a great choice when welding heat-treated aluminum parts. This rod may also be used in brazing applications.
