Safra Premium Aluminium Alloy TIG Welding Rod 5kg

Safra is a manufacturer of aluminium welding consumables, producing MIG wire and TIG rods for welding aluminium alloys in fabrication, manufacturing, and automotive applications. Their aluminium welding wire and rod range is produced to AWS and ISO specification, covering the most common aluminium alloy filler requirements for 1XXX, 4XXX, and 5XXX series base materials.

Safra aluminium TIG rods are cut-length filler materials for GTAW (TIG) welding of aluminium alloys, fed manually into the weld pool during AC-TIG welding. Available in ER4043 and ER5356 alloy grades, they provide the same alloy selection as MIG wire but in the cut-length rod form required for TIG welding process.

Where this product is used

Aluminium TIG rods are used for precision aluminium welding and fabrication:

• Precision aluminium fabrication where TIG welding provides superior control over heat input and bead profile.
• Thin-section aluminium sheet welding in aerospace, automotive, and instrumentation applications.
• Repair welding of aluminium castings and components where the low heat input of TIG minimises distortion.

Selecting the right option

Select alloy grade using the same logic as MIG wire: ER4043 for general and repair welding, ER5356 for structural and high-strength applications. TIG rod diameter should be matched to material thickness — thinner rods (1.6 mm, 2.4 mm) for thin sheet; heavier rods (3.2 mm) for plate and thick-section work. Rods are typically supplied in 1 kg packs.
