TECH TIP : LOCKTITE FOR LINER




Two Piece Aluminum Liner Giving You Trouble?


Don't Blame the Welder! This Tech Tip Will Help You Keep It Together...



Aluminum Liner Facts:
  • With concern of corrosion and Aluminum being a softer wire than steel -  a smooth feed through the torch is a MUST if you want consistent weld quality.
  • The Aluminum Liner is made up of two materials (graphite and upper steel section) that screw together to guide the wire through the torch neck. 
What Can Happen:
  • If the two halves separate, it causes poor feeding, inconsistent welds, damaged wire, and excess time spent diagnosing the problem or blaming the welder - all of which is wasting productivity.
PRO TIP: 
  • During new set up, or replacing an aluminum liner- add a dab of Loctite to the steel end-threaded to the graphite. This ensures the liner will not come apart.
  • Spare yourself (and your welders) the frustrations of troubleshooting. Utilize this tip and eliminate wasting time and resources
