## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE11176:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE11176:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Lay down clean, strong aluminium welds without a single trace of flux.

Aluminium is unforgiving to weld - it pulls heat away fast, and the wrong filler leaves you fighting warped workpieces and cloudy, pitted seams. This 6061 alloy wire is formulated for the job, with a lower melting point and rapid heat dissipation that keeps deformation down and leaves a bright, even bead.

The spool carries a dual-hole hub that seats directly on the MetalFab's wire feeder, so automatic feeding just works - no adapters, no hand-feeding, no tangling mid-bead.

### Features

- Keeps workpieces flat and seams clear, thanks to a lower melting point and fast heat dissipation
- Feeds automatically and reliably - the dual-hole spool hub seats straight onto the MetalFab's feeder
- Safe to run in an enclosed workshop: flux-free, non-toxic and odourless, with no flux residue to clean off afterwards
- Matched to 6061 and other aluminium alloy stock for consistent fusion and heat behaviour
- Genuine xTool Selected consumable, so feed geometry and alloy spec are guaranteed against the machine
- Suits parts manufacturing, repair and maintenance, automotive work, marine fittings and general metal customisation
