Welding Supplies: TIG Rods, Electrodes, MIG Consumables, Hoses and Safety
AIMS Industrial stocks hundreds of welding supplies and accessories across TIG welding rods, stick electrodes, MIG drive rollers, tungsten electrodes, LPG hoses, stainless steel pickling paste, ground clamps, and welding eye protection — consumables and accessories to keep your welding operation running from Bossweld, Pelox, Magswitch, CRC, and BossSafe.
The AIMS Welding Supplies Range
Our welding range covers the core consumables and accessories for TIG, MIG, and stick (SMAW) welding processes.
- TIG Welding Rods (ER316L Stainless): Bossweld ER316L stainless steel TIG rods are the standard filler for welding 316L and 304 stainless steel in food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical, and marine fabrication. Available in multiple diameter options.
- Stick Electrodes (6013): Bossweld E6013 general-purpose rutile electrodes provide smooth, easy-start arc performance for mild steel welding in fabrication, maintenance, and repair applications. E6013 is the preferred electrode for lower-amperage AC machines and thin-section steel.
- MIG Drive Rollers & Tungsten Electrodes: Bossweld MIG wire drive rollers (replacement rollers for MIG feeder assemblies) and tungsten electrodes for TIG welding in various grades (pure, ceriated, lanthanated) to suit AC and DC TIG applications.
- LPG Hoses: Bossweld LPG hoses for oxy-LPG cutting and heating sets. Red (fuel gas) and blue (oxygen) hoses in standard 6mm and 10mm bore sizes. Must be correctly rated for LPG pressure — never substitute oxygen hose for fuel gas service.
- Stainless Steel Pickling Paste: Pelox stainless steel pickling and passivation paste chemically removes heat discolouration (heat tint), weld scale, and oxidation from stainless steel welds, restoring the passive layer and corrosion resistance. Essential post-weld treatment for food-grade and marine stainless fabrications.
- Welding Safety & Accessories: Magswitch magnetic ground clamps provide hands-free work positioning. CRC Weld Cleaning Pad provides mechanical weld cleaning. BossSafe shade 5 glasses provide eye protection for gas welding, cutting, and brazing at shade 5 optical density.
Welding Consumable Selection
- Match Filler to Base Metal: TIG and MIG filler materials must match or exceed the mechanical properties and chemical composition of the base metal. Using wrong filler materials compromises weld integrity and corrosion resistance.
- Stainless Post-Weld Treatment: Welding stainless steel destroys the passive oxide layer in the heat-affected zone (HAZ). Pickling and passivation must be applied to every stainless weld to restore corrosion resistance — especially in food, pharmaceutical, and marine environments.
- Expert Support: Not sure which filler or electrode suits your base metal and application? Contact our team or request a quote for application-specific recommendations.
- Australian Business, Local Supply: As a proudly Australian business since 1988, we stock locally and work with trusted local Australian manufacturers and distributors to ensure fast, reliable supply.
