36 in ER1100 TIG Rod 3/32 in

Westward 20YE05 is a 36 inch TIG welding rod with a 0.0938 inch diameter. It carries AWS ER1100 classification and weighs 1 lb. The filler metal is designed for aluminium-to-aluminium joining using the GTAW process. As-welded tensile strength is 13 ksi.

Suitable Grades and Unsuitable Materials

This rod suits base metals graded 1050, 1060, 1070, 1100, 1145, 1199, 1200, 1230, 1350, 1370, 1420, 1421, 1424, 1430, 1440, 1441, 1441K, 1445, 1450 and 1460. It does not suit steels, stainless steels, copper alloys or other non-aluminium substrates. Buyers needing filler for dissimilar metal joints or higher-strength aluminium alloys should look elsewhere.

AWS ER1100 Classification Decides Fit

The single specification that decides fit is the AWS ER1100 classification, which defines the chemical composition and mechanical properties for commercially pure aluminium filler. Match this classification to the welding procedure specification and base-metal grade before purchase.

Questions about this item

What diameter TIG torch collet and cup do I need for the 3/32" (.0938 in) ER1100 rod?

Use a 3/32 inch (0.0938 in) collet body and matching gas lens or standard cup; the rod diameter matches the collet size exactly.

How do I prep the 1 lb pack of 36 in ER1100 rods before the first TIG weld on 1100-grade aluminium?

Wipe each rod with acetone or dedicated aluminium cleaner, remove any oxide with a stainless brush used only for aluminium, then feed clean rod into the puddle.

When should I replace a partially used 1 lb tube of ER1100 rods?

Replace rods if the surface shows white oxidation, contamination from other metals, or if the diameter has worn below 3/32 in from handling.
