Almacenamiento
Keep protected from humidity and dirt. Once the package is opened, and in case of not using all the material, keep into its original case closed and preferably in a heated cabinet, at least at 20°C. Keep the label of the spool (GMAW) or wrapping (GTAW).
Before welding
Remove the alumina layer and dirt (grease, dust…) as well as humidity from the welding area mechanically or by brushing it with stainless steel spikes. Do not use lubricant that contains diluted oils in the joints.
Welding equipment
When welding GMAW, conducts (liners, etc.) and pushing rollers have to be suitable for aluminum and be kept clean. Do not hit the gas outlet nozzle.
