DETAILS
4043 is a great choice for the welding of heat-treatable base alloys and more specifically the 6XXX series alloys. It has a lower melting point and more fluidity than the 5XXX series filler alloys and is preferred by welders because of its favorable operating characteristics. ER4043 type wires may reduce crack sensitivity with the 6XXX series base alloys. 4043 is suitable for sustained elevated temperature service, i.e. above 65°C.
Features
- Used on many weldable cast and wrought aluminum alloys
- Better puddle and fluidity makes it less prone to cracks
- Generally recommended for welding 5052, any 6XXX series alloys and castings
Typical Applications
- 6XXX alloys, and most casting alloys
- Automotive components such as frame and drive shafts
- Bicycle frames
Shielding Gas
- I1 : Inert gas Ar (100%)
