xTool Laser Essentials Welding Aluminum Sheet and Wire Set for MetalFab

xTool Laser Essentials Welding Aluminum Sheet and Wire Set for MetalFab

Start aluminum laser welding on the xTool MetalFab with this essentials set. It pairs five 24 × 24 in 1060 aluminum alloy sheets with a 4.5 lb spool of 6061 aluminum welding wire so you can practice, test parameters, and complete small projects right away.

Key Benefits

  • Starter kit: Everything you need to get started with aluminum laser welding on the MetalFab in one purchase.
  • Ready-to-use aluminum kit: Combines base material and matching filler wire for MetalFab laser welding.
  • Five 24 × 24 in sheets: 0.08 in (2 mm) 1060 aluminum alloy sheets provide usable area for multiple test pieces or small parts.
  • Matching welding wire: 0.047 in 6061 aluminum alloy wire on a 4.5 lb (2 kg) spool for consistent feeding and welding.
  • Dual-hole wire spool: Designed for seamless installation on the MetalFab wire feeder for automatic feeding.
  • Strong welding performance: The wire’s lower melting point and faster heat dissipation help prevent workpiece deformation and produce clear, aesthetically pleasing weld seams.
  • Environmentally friendly and safe: Free from flux, non-toxic, and odorless.
  • 1060 aluminum alloy sheets: Industrial pure aluminum (Al ≥ 99.6%) in the 1000 series. Offers excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance, with good ductility and workability. Low strength and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment.
  • Precision finish: All sheets are precision cut with a smooth, flat surface free of cracks or pores. Surfaces are industrially polished.
  • Protective film on sheets: Covered with protective film on both sides to help prevent damage during shipping and handling.
  • xTool Selected materials: Both the sheets and wire are tested for processing performance on the MetalFab.
  • Perfectly adapted to MetalFab: Suited for metal customization, parts manufacturing, maintenance and repair, DIY projects, and more.

Setup Tips

  • Confirm the MetalFab is set for aluminum and use the recommended assist gas or air settings.
  • Start with xTool’s tested parameters for 2 mm 1060 aluminum and 6061 wire, then adjust for your joint type.
  • Mount the wire spool using the dual-hole design for proper automatic feeding.
  • Remove protective film from the sheets only when ready to process. Handle carefully to avoid scratches or abrasions.
  • Keep both materials dry and clean. Store sheets and wire in a dry, cool place to reduce the chance of bending, oxidation, or surface issues from moisture.
  • Use the wire only with matching aluminum alloy base materials.
