ALB250 - Harris ERCuAl-A2 Aluminum Bronze TIG Rod 3/32" - 10lb Tube

Master Marine and Repair Welds with Harris Aluminum Bronze

When you are faced with a cracked boat propeller, a worn-out bearing shaft, or a tricky job joining brass to steel, the Harris Aluminum Bronze TIG Rod is the secret weapon you need in your arsenal. This 10 lb tube of 3/32" rods is designed for welders who demand versatility and strength. Known in the industry as "A2" bronze, this filler metal flows smoothly and creates a deposit that is tough as nails but still ductile enough to handle the stresses of marine and heavy industrial environments. If you do repair work, especially on parts that sit in salt water or grind against other metals, this is the rod that will save the day.

Welding with aluminum bronze is a unique experience. Unlike standard steel TIG welding, the puddle here is fluid but requires a clean surface. These Harris rods are manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring that the wire is clean and free of contaminants that could cause porosity. You'll run these on DCEN (straight polarity) with pure Argon. The 3/32" diameter is the perfect middle-ground size, giving you enough deposition rate for building up worn shafts while still offering the control needed for finer root passes or edge repairs. The iron content in the alloy gives the puddle a distinct clarity and helps the bead freeze with a fine grain structure, reducing the chance of hot cracking.

One of the biggest advantages of this rod is its ability to weld dissimilar metals. Need to weld a steel bracket to a copper pipe? Or repair a cast iron part where nickel rods aren't cutting it? Harris Aluminum Bronze can often bridge that gap. It's also fantastic for "surfacing" or "cladding"—laying down a layer of bronze on a steel part to create a wear-resistant surface that won't rust. Whether you are a marine fabricator, a job shop welder, or a maintenance tech, keeping a tube of HAR3ALB250 on the shelf ensures you are ready for those specialty alloy jobs that command a higher hourly rate.
