Choosing a filler metal
Match the filler to the base metal and the process. Mild steel, stainless and aluminium each need their own filler, so check the alloy on the product page against the metal you are joining, and use the stainless and aluminium listings only on the metals they are made for. For MIG, gasless wire is self shielded and runs without shielding gas, while solid wire needs a shielding gas. Stick electrodes are grouped here as general purpose, low hydrogen, stainless and specialty types. Our MIG Welding Guide covers wire, gas and technique. Always check the data sheet.

Filler Metals FAQs
How do I choose a filler metal for my base metal?
Match the filler to the base metal first, then to the process. We list mild steel wire and rod (70S-6, ER70S-2, 70S-4), stainless (308L, 309, 316L) and aluminium (4043, 4047, 5183, 5356) for MIG, TIG and stick. Check the data sheet, or call us and we'll help match one to your job.
What is the difference between gasless and solid MIG wire?
Gasless wire is self shielded, so it runs without shielding gas, while solid wire needs a shielding gas. We list both, including Bossweld Gasless 11, Gasless GS and GL-11 and Bossweld 70S-6 solid wire.
What are low hydrogen electrodes?
Low hydrogen (hydrogen controlled) electrodes such as Bossweld TC16 7016, Kobe LB52 and Gemini LD52 are made to keep hydrogen in the weld low. They need to be stored dry, so follow the storage and handling instructions on the packaging.
