Aluminum strip for argon arc welding is used for welded cable sheath applications, offering clean surface, good weldability, stable elongation and custom sizes.
Aluminum strip for argon arc welding is specially designed for applications requiring continuous TIG welding or argon arc welding performance. It is commonly used in the production of welded aluminum cable sheath, aluminum protective sheath, metal cable covering and other aluminum welded structures.
During cable sheath production, the aluminum strip is longitudinally formed around the cable core and welded by argon arc welding equipment. Therefore, the material must have excellent weldability, clean surface, stable chemical composition, accurate dimensional tolerance and good forming performance.
We supply aluminum strip for argon arc welding in different alloys, tempers, thicknesses and widths according to customer cable design and welding process requirements.
