Purpose
- Iron-bearing aluminum bronze solid TIG rod (CuAl10, 8.5-11% Al, 0.5-1.5% Fe), stronger than CUP AL8 TIG — joining copper-aluminum alloys and surfacing on steel.
Why it works
The added iron (0.5-1.5%) refines the grain and raises strength (Rm 450 MPa, hardness 130 HB) versus CUP AL8 MIG (Rm 430 MPa, 100 HB) — a mid-tier aluminum bronze, between AL8 and the nickel-bearing variants.
Fields of application
- Joining copper-aluminum and copper-copper alloys.
- Surfacing unalloyed and low-alloy steels, and cast steel parts.

Advantages
- Higher strength and hardness than CUP AL8 MIG (Rm 450 MPa, 130 HB).
Limitations
- Not suitable for oxy-fuel gas welding.
- Lower ductility than CUP AL8 MIG (A5 20% versus 40%).
