Makes tough welding jobs simple
January 1st 2007 Welding aluminium, usually a difficult task requiring expensive equipment and high levels of skill, is fast and straightforward with the revolutionary new Durafix Easyweld aluminium welding rods from Durafix. In addition to aluminium, the rods can also be used to weld almost all other non-ferrous metals and alloys – they can even be used to produce strong welded joints in galvanised steel and between dissimilar non-ferrous metals. No special equipment is needed to make welds with Easyweld rods - their low working temperature of just 392°C means that they can be used in conjunction with almost any ordinary hand-held blow torch. For the convenience of new users, Durafix offers the rods in the form of inexpensive kits, complete with a high-quality auto- or manualignition torch. For users who already have a suitable torch, Easyweld rods can also be purchased separately, in a wide range of pack sizes. Despite their convenience and ease of use, Easyweld rods produce dependable non-porous joints which are stronger than the parent metal, and which are entirely free from slag. Because there are no toxicity hazards associated with the Easyweld process, it is equally suitable for use in domestic, workshop and industrial environments. Whatever metals are being joined, the formulation of the Easyweld rods eliminates problems with oxidation at the weld, without the use of flux. Not only does this mean that dependable joints can be readily produced even by users with no previous welding experience, it also avoids the environmental problems associated with the aggressive flux materials used in many other welding processes.
