ER5356 for Marine Aluminum Welding
The most widely used aluminum welding wires for welding are er 5356 and 5456. What are their differences? Lets have a look together.
4043 aluminum wire, commonly known as ALSil, is an aluminum filler metal containing 5 percent silicon and can be recommended for welding 3003, 3004, 5052, 6061, 6063 and casting metals 355, 356 and 214. The melting point temperature range of ER4043 is 1065-1170oF, the color after anodizing is off-white, and the tensile strength is as low as 186MP.
It is a kind of aluminum-silicon alloy welding wire with great versatility. The weld metal has excellent thermal crack resistance and can also guarantee certain mechanical properties. However, in the case of anodizing treatment, the color of the weld metal and the base metal is different. At the same time, the welding of aluminum-magnesium alloy generates brittle Mg2Si in the weld, which reduces the plasticity and corrosion resistance of the joint.
It is often used as a filling material for argon arc welding of aluminum alloy workpieces and castings other than aluminum-magnesium alloys and oxygen-acetylene gas welding, especially for heat-treated aluminum alloys that are prone to hot cracks, which can obtain better results.
5356 aluminum welding wire is an aluminum alloy filler metal containing 5% magnesium. It can be used for MIG or TIG welding. It has good seawater corrosion resistance and can generally be applied to base metals 5050, 5052, 5083 , 5356, 5454 and 5456 aluminum sheet welding. It is white in color after anodizing and has a tensile strength of 290MP.
It is a general-purpose welding consumable with a wide range of uses. 5356 aluminum welding wire features high strength, good forgeability, good corrosion resistance. This product also provides good color matching for anodized welds.
5356 aluminum wire is widely used in the welding parts of bicycles, aluminum scooters, locomotive carriages, chemical pressure vessels, ordnance production, shipbuilding, aviation and other industries. Welcome to leave message below to inquire aluminum welding wire.
