3.2mm SIFTIG AZ61A Magnesium TIG Rods (12 Rods)

The correct magnesium TIG filler rod depends on the parent alloy, the required mechanical properties and the application. Matching the filler rod to the parent material will usually provide the best results.

Yes. Magnesium is commonly TIG welded because the process provides excellent control of heat input and produces high-quality welds on many magnesium alloys.

Yes. Matching the filler rod to the parent alloy helps maintain the required strength, corrosion resistance and weld quality.

Magnesium requires excellent joint preparation and cleanliness. Surface contamination, oxide layers and incorrect welding parameters can all affect weld quality.

The correct filler rod depends on the magnesium alloy being repaired and the mechanical properties required after welding. Identifying the parent alloy is the first step.

Cracking can result from selecting an unsuitable filler rod, excessive heat input, contamination or poor joint preparation.

Pure argon is commonly used for TIG welding magnesium, although the correct shielding gas should always follow the welding procedure and application requirements.

Magnesium TIG filler rods are widely used in aerospace, motorsport, defence, automotive, specialist engineering and lightweight structural applications.

Store magnesium filler rods in a clean, dry environment and protect them from moisture, dirt and contamination before welding.

Before selecting a magnesium TIG filler rod, identify: What magnesium alloy is being welded? Is it new fabrication or a repair? What mechanical properties are required? What service environment will the component operate in? Are there any welding procedure specifications to follow? Answering these questions will help you select the most suitable magnesium TIG filler rod for your application.
