3ALB230 - Harris ERCuAl-A2 Aluminum Bronze TIG Welding Rod 1/16" (10lb Tube)

Reliable Bronze TIG Rod for Marine and Repair Work

When you are faced with a broken propeller shaft, a worn-out bushing, or a tricky job joining steel to copper, the Harris Aluminum Bronze (ERCuAl-A2) TIG rod is the filler metal you want in your arsenal. This 1/16-inch rod is a favorite among repair welders and fabricators for its smooth flow and tough, durable deposits. Whether you are building up a worn surface on a heavy equipment housing or fixing marine hardware that spends its life in salt water, this rod delivers the performance you need to make a repair that lasts.

Welding with aluminum bronze is distinct from standard steel TIG welding, but Harris makes it manageable with a consistent chemical composition that ensures a stable arc and clean puddle. The rod is designed to wet out smoothly, allowing you to create flat, defect-free beads whether you are in the flat position or working out of position. It is particularly famous for its ability to weld dissimilar metals—if you need to attach a steel bracket to a bronze casting, this is the rod that will bond them securely without cracking.

Packaged in a durable 10-pound tube, these 36-inch cut lengths are kept straight and clean, ready for use right out of the package. The 1/16-inch diameter is perfect for fine detail work or thinner sections where heat input needs to be carefully managed. For best results, ensure your base metal is clean and free of oxides, and use 100% Argon shielding gas to protect the reactive aluminum content in the alloy. Add this versatile rod to your shop to handle everything from boat repairs to custom artistic fabrication.
