ER100S-1 High Strength and High Impact TIG Welding Rods

Alloy ER1100 is highly resistant to chemical
attack and weathering. It is a relatively soft
alloy that is very formable and is used
extensively in thin gauge and foil products.
It has good welding characteristics and it
is also used as a filler alloy for welding
purposes. A desirable characteristic of the
alloy is the bright finishes obtained by
anodizing. Base metals that can be welded
are 1060, 1070, 1080, and 3003.

Applications
• Heat Exchangers
• Food Handling Equipment
• Rivets
