The quality of the metal seems totally good. As a beginner, the length seemed like it would be so much easier to deal with than trying to accurately dab with a normal long rod... and it is... but you end up wasting more. If you are between short and long rods, I'd say just get long. It's aluminum, you can always cut it short to get into a tight spot if you need. With aluminum, you end going through filler so fast, that you will constantly be grabbing a new stick. I try to keep the short ends and use them for tacks. With a little bit of copper tubing or thick foil / thin sheet, you can make a little jig and try to tack these short lengths into long lengths. Probably would not use for anything critical, but if you are just running bead on plate for practice, it's an option. Personally, I'd go for full length sticks next time, but I can't really fault the product when it comes to peoples personal preference, ya know? ## Features - ER4043: Commonly referred to as “AlSi5", has a 5% silicon and is the oldest and one of the most widely used aluminum welding wires for general purpose applications. - Shielding Gas Required: Usually 100% Argon, Helium or mix. - Excellent Welding Performance: The silicon additions result in improved fluidity to make the alloy a preferred choice by welders. Less sensitive to weld cracking and produces brighter. - Multiple Usage: Welding Wire ER4043 can use where base metal require thermal treatment. It also can be used on weld forge and casting materials. - Applications: It can be used to weld various grades of aluminum, 3003, 3004, 5052, 6061, 6063, casing alloys 43, 355, 356 and 214. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09YTRL7F5 | | Assembled Diameter | 0.13 inches | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,728 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #8 in TIG Welding Equipment | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (348) | | Cutting Diameter | 0.13 inches | | Date First Available | April 26, 2022 | | Finish | Unfinished | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 5.33 pounds | | Item model number | ER4043-5LB-3.2 | | Manufacturer | YESWELDER | | Material | ER4043 Aluminum | | Number Of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | ER4043-5LB-3.2 | | Shape | Round Rod | | Size | 1/8"x16" 5LB | | Thickness | 0.13 inches | ## Images ![Aluminum TIG Welding Rod ER4043 1/8"x16" 5LB - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OScqLB2DL.jpg) ![Aluminum TIG Welding Rod ER4043 1/8"x16" 5LB - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vwviNp73L.jpg) ![Aluminum TIG Welding Rod ER4043 1/8"x16" 5LB - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61a9Y5amjlL.jpg) ![Aluminum TIG Welding Rod ER4043 1/8"x16" 5LB - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NnagY9fvL.jpg) ![Aluminum TIG Welding Rod ER4043 1/8"x16" 5LB - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jFyFrQvgL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Material Type, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality *by D***N on August 17, 2026* Good quality ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Totally fine filler *by M***S on January 31, 2025* The price is great.
