SÜA® - ER4043 - MIG Aluminum Welding Wire - 1 Lb x 0.035'' (6 SPOOLS)

• ER4043, commonly referred to as “AlSi5", has a 5% silicon and is the oldest and one of the most widely used aluminum welding wires for general purpose applications
• Less sensitive to weld cracking than other aluminum alloys and the 5% silicon content lowers the melting point, increases fluidity of the weld puddle and leaves a bright shiny weld deposit.
• ER4043 is commonly used for welding grades 6061, 6063, 5052, 3004, 3003 and cast alloys 356.0, 357.0, 413.0, and 443.0 to name just a few
• Melting range is 1065 °F– 1170 °F, density is 0.097 lbs/in3 and post anodizing color is gray
• 1 Lb of wire per Spool - Available diameters: 0.030", 0.035" and 0.045" - Available Spool Quantities 1, 2, 4 and 6-Pack. Select your choice from the menu.

ER4043 - WIRE - MIG (GMAW) – ALUMINUM AWS A5.10 Welding Positions: All, except vertical down INTRODUCTION: MIG solid wire electrode with aluminum 5% silicon for welding heat-treatable base alloys and more specifically, 6XXX series alloys.
