ABOUT WMS
Welding Material Sales was founded in 1978 by William C. DePaul, who was involved
primarily in the sale and distribution of specialized welding consumables.
In 1984, Mr. De Paul saw a growing need for small spools of welding wire. These spools
would later be used with the new MIG welders that were being introduced into the US
market via Italy. An all out effort was organized to design the production equipment that
would enable the company to produce and sell these spools. Welding Material Sales
soon grew to become one of the major suppliers of the MIG small spooled welding wire
and further expanded their facility in 1989 to meet the growing demands of the economy
(for this product). In 1992 Welding Material Sales expanded again, allowing the com-
pany to introduce a new product line of manual electrodes and TIG welding wire. In
addition to the new product line, the company developed a Point of Purchase display
that would be sold in the welding distributor market for their retail store operations.
In 1998 another 8,500 sq. ft. expansion was needed to meet the companies growing
demands. Welding Material Sales has grown to become one of the largest independent
WILLIAM C. DEPAUL suppliers of retail packaged welding consumables. Today, the company employs over 40
people, 80% of whom are production personnel. Welding Material Sales is committed to
providing quality service to all its customers and prepares to continue its growth by main-
taining all levels of customer satisfaction.

A5.3 | ALUMINUM AND ALUMINUM ALLOY Covered Arc Welding Electrodes
E4043
E4043 is a general purpose aluminum elec-
trode for arc welding aluminum alloys. The arc
is stable and operates at low temperatures
with a minimum of spatter and fuming. The
welds are strong, dense, and free of porosity
on both production and maintenance applica-
tions. E4043 is a great choice when welding
heat-treated aluminum parts. This welding rod
may also be used in brazing applications.
• Arc welding aluminums alloyed with copper,
silicon, and magnesium.
• Excellent for joining dissimilar grades of
aluminum.

E2553-16
E2553-16 is an electrode which is designed
to run on a direct current with reverse polarity
as well as alternating current. This electrode is
used for the welding of Ferralium 255 and du-
plex stainless steels which contain approxi-
mately 25% chromium. The weld metal
deposit of these electrodes has a "duplex"
microstructure which consists of an austenite-
ferrite matrix. E2553-16 weld deposit com-
bines an increased tensile strength with an
improved resistance to pitting, corrosive attack
and to stress corrosion cracking.

E70C-6M
E70C-6M metal-cored welding wire combines
the efficiencies of solid (GMAW) wires with
the high productivity rates of flux-cored
(FCAW) wires - low fume generation rates,
high efficiencies, no slag to clean or remove -
with all the advantages cored wires have over
solid wires - no "cold lap" or lack of sidewall
fusion, pure spray achievement with 75-80%
argon/balance carbon dioxide, faster travel
speeds for a given fillet size. E70C-6M is well
suited to applications where higher man-
ganese and silicon levels are essential, such
as in the presence of heavy mill scale or mild
contaminants, or when improved wetting of
the weld bead is desired. This product excels
in general purpose welding, but is equally
superior in higher demand situations as in
heavier sheet metal fabrication, structural
work, pipe welding and welding of hot
water heaters.

E71T-GS
E71T-GS is an all-position, single-pass, flux
cored welding wire designed to weld carbon
steel. The unique quality of this product is that
you do not have to use a shielding gas. E71T-
GS produces smooth arc action, low spatter,
full slag coverage, and easy slag removal. The
bead appearance is not equal to a gas-
shielded product, but the benefits of not hav-
ing to use gas makes this product extremely
popular. E71T-GS operates on DC straight po-
larity (DCEN). * Make sure your power source is
set properly for a good, non-porous weld.

ERZr-2 (Zirconium) welding alloy is widely
used in the chemical processing industry. It is
used in chemical processes that require alter-
nate contact with strong acids and alkalis. This
alloy has excellent corrosion resistance to
many chemical solutions. It also has excellent
resistance to corrosive attack in most organic
and mineral acids, strong alkalis, and some
molten salts. ERZr-2 can be machined, welded
and fabricated using the same equipment as
processes used in fabrication of stainless steel,
nickel-based alloys and titanium.
