ALLOY DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION;

Washington Alloy Aluminum Bronze A2 is a copper based filler metal


containing about 1% iron used for gas-tungsten arc welding and gas-metal arc welding of
copper, copper-nickel, brass, bronze, steel, galvanized steels and also cast iron. Most common
applications would include marine maintenance and repair, ship propellers, pump housing, rigging
jacks, piston heads, bearings and excellent for build-up or overlaying wear/corrosion resistance
applications. Combinations of Copper or Aluminum Bronze base metals to steel are very common with
this filler. Exhibits high mechanical properties and hardness.
