The welding rods used for TIG welding have a new storage location, in a single drawer in the welding area tool bench.
We do seem to be out of 1/16” aluminum rod; Savanna will get more soon.
Note that part of this color scheme, red for steel and blue for aluminum, will soon be implemented in the scrap and recycling containers as well.
This is great, thank you Ethan and Savanna! One thing I suggest adding to the labels (in addition to the base metal and diameter) is the specific alloy. It’s not always easy to read the stamps on the end of the rod, and if we’re going to provide these, it will help others to know what filler they’re using.
Good idea; will do, though I don’t know if I have that info for all of the rods.
I had to use the electronics lab magnifying glass to figure out what you were talking about regarding stamps on the rods. I had to use the microscope to actually read them! But those labels have been added as you suggested.
Yeah. Labels and ideally part numbers and manufactures names and where to buy more. This is awesome! Thank you so much.
I don’t know if this info is as important, since we are obviously providing them. And the size and alloy should be sufficient to order functionality identical rods from any source.
The alloy info is important. If I’m welding cast al versus a clean al. I want different alloys. The same goes for stainless. Like you said that Asmbly provides it. If users want different alloys that can buy it. I think we just state that the steel is ER70S-6, Al is ER4043, stainless if ER304.
Yes, the alloy information is important, which is why I already added it, as I said above.
Oops. I missed your response from earlier
I was wanting numbers for my own educational purposes as well as if I need to buy some fom my home or resupply if I use a bunch of it at ASMBLY.
