Victory Welding Alloys V-345 1/8″ Aluminum Extruded Electrode

Description

Victory Welding Alloys V-345 is an aluminum extruded electrode designed for production, maintenance, and repair welding on all weldable grades of aluminum. It is suitable for use on aluminum sheet, plate, pipe, castings, and extrusions with a minimum thickness of 3/32″, delivering strong, corrosion-resistant welds with excellent color match.

V-345 features a dense, extruded coating that eliminates air holes commonly found in lower-quality dip-coated electrodes. This results in a more stable arc, cleaner welds, and improved consistency. It can be used as a SMAW stick electrode or as an oxyacetylene brazing rod, offering added versatility in shop or field applications.
