Matweld Tig Starter Kit 2.4mm Alumiun Packed

The Matweld TIG Starter Kit 2.4mm (Aluminum Packed) is a specialized consumable set designed for TIG welding aluminum. Because aluminum welding requires high heat and specific shielding, this kit provides the 2.4mm diameter components necessary to handle the higher amperages typically used for thicker aluminum sections or base plates.

Key Components

A standard Matweld "Aluminum Packed" TIG kit typically includes:

• 2.4mm Zirconiated Tungstens (White Tip): Unlike Thoriated (Red) tungstens used for steel, Zirconiated tungstens are the industry standard for AC welding on aluminum because they retain a balled tip and resist contamination.
• Collets & Collet Bodies: Sized specifically for 2.4mm electrodes to ensure a secure electrical connection and steady gas flow.
• Alumina Ceramic Nozzles: Various sizes (typically 5, 6, or 7) to direct the Argon shielding gas over the weld pool.
• Short & Long Back Caps: To allow for welding in both open areas and tight "short-cap" configurations.

Technical Specifications

• Electrode Type: Zirconiated (for Aluminum/Magnesium).
• Diameter: 2.4mm (3/32").
• Welding Process: TIG (GTAW) - AC Current.
• Torch Compatibility: Generally fits standard WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 series torches.
