I finally bought some alu tig rods to try out the ac side of my welder.
SIF Aluminium Tig Wire
4043A Grade
5% Silicone
sold as unopened, new.
When i opened the tube the rods looked like this:
Im pretty sure this isnt normal, i tried cleaning the one in my hand with brake cleaner but its still got black marks all over. I thought alu was supposed to be spotless to get a good weld.
I guess i should be sending these back right?
I thought £25 for 2.5kg was to good to be true, seems i was right.
