Is the wire made of aluminum or just used for welding aluminum?
Aluminum has a poor reputation for cracking from metal fatigue. Have
you tested your wire for fatigue resistance? This will be important
when used for quad wires.

Hi Bill. This stuff is Almigweld alloy welding wire made by Alcotec
http://www.alcotec.com/prodline.htm#SPEC I guess I made it sound like it was
pure aluminum wire, sorry bout that. A friend tossed me a roll of this stuff
leftover from a quad he bought awhile back. Being that this is what I had on
hand and that it worked well for him I figured I'd use it too. 73
