Argweld® Weld Backing Tapes are used for the correct performance of root weld in place of, e.g. ceramic backings. They consist of a fiberglass tape glued onto self-adhesive aluminium tape. The molten metal is deposited directly onto the fibre without undesirable slag. They are mainly used for welding tanks using the TIG method. Depending on the maximum welding current, 80 A, 160 A, 240 A and 600 A tapes can be distinguished
