Precisely welded aluminium with clean beads. High-purity aluminium wire for MIG welding, for jobs ranging from automotive to construction. Its fine diameter allows precise welds even on thin sheet.
Available in 0.8 mm (0.5 or 2 kg spool) and 1.0 mm (2 kg spool). It is welded with argon or an argon-helium mix. For the wire to feed without jamming, the machine must be set up for aluminium: Teflon liner, U-groove rollers and a suitable tip.

Workshops with a MIG welder set up for aluminium.
📋 Technical features
Type: solid aluminium wire for MIG
Diameters: 0.8 / 1.0 mm
Spools: 0.5 kg and 2 kg
Gas: argon or argon-helium
Set up your machine for aluminium
Aluminium needs a Teflon liner, U-groove rollers and a contact tip one size larger; with a steel liner the wire jams. A dedicated aluminium torch or a spool gun makes the job much easier.
💡 Vetonek tip: clean and degrease the workpiece just before welding, remove the oxide layer with a stainless steel brush and set the wire tension and speed carefully: with aluminium, a drive that is too tight deforms the wire.
Frequently asked questions
What gas do I need?
Argon or an argon-helium mix.
What diameters and spools are available?
0.8 mm on a 0.5 or 2 kg spool, and 1.0 mm on a 2 kg spool.
Can I use my steel torch?
It is best to set up the machine: Teflon liner, U-groove rollers and a suitable contact tip. With a steel liner the wire jams.
What jobs is it suitable for?
For MIG welding of aluminium in automotive, construction, bodywork, marine work and repairs.
What contact tip do I need?
For aluminium, a tip one size larger than the wire diameter is used to prevent jamming due to expansion.
