XX.954.T.093.36B - 954 Aluminum Bronze TIG Welding Rod - 3/32" x 36"

High-Performance Aluminum Bronze TIG Filler Metal

The XX.954.T.093.36B is a premium-grade Aluminum Bronze A-2 (ERCuAl-A2) TIG welding rod designed for high-stress industrial applications. Formulated to match the mechanical properties of C95400 cast aluminum bronze, this filler metal contains approximately 10% aluminum and 1% iron, resulting in a deposit with high tensile strength and exceptional ductility. It is engineered to provide superior resistance to corrosion, erosion, and cavitation, making it the standard choice for marine environments and fluid-handling components.

Metallurgically, this 954-grade alloy excels in wear applications. It develops a hardness range of 150-170 HB, offering excellent resistance to metal-to-metal wear and galling. This makes it an optimal solution for surfacing bearing journals, wear plates, and hydraulic pistons. The rod is manufactured with tight chemical composition controls to ensure consistent melting characteristics and defect-free deposits. It is suitable for joining aluminum bronzes, silicon bronzes, copper-nickel alloys, and even ferrous metals like cast iron or steel when a ductile, corrosion-resistant overlay is required.

For technical operators, the rod performs best under Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN) using pure Argon shielding gas. The 3/32" (2.4mm) diameter allows for precise heat control on medium-thickness base metals, ensuring proper fusion without overheating the heat-affected zone. Whether used for fabrication or critical repair, this filler metal meets rigorous AWS A5.7 specifications.
