Aluminum TIG Welding Wire

Product Description

TIG : Tungsten Inert Gas / GTAW 

Alloy ***6 is an all-position TIG wire used to weld the 5XXX series alloys when *0,**0 psi tensile strength is not a requirement. Alloy ***6 is a very good all-purpose wire so it is the most widely used of all aluminum fillers metals.

Typical Application: Common applications are welding of boats/ships, bicycles, tanks pressure vessels and automotive parts.

Alloy ***3 is a 4.**6% silicon alloy used to weld heat-treatable base alloys. It is most often used to weld the 6XXX series of alloys. The silicon addition improves puddle fluidity, producing an appealing bead profile. It s less crack-sensitive on the 6XXX series than other welding alloys.

Typical Application: Common applications are automotive parts, truck trailers and bicycles. It is also ideally suited for brazing thin aluminum sheet and tubing.

Alloy ***0 is highly resistant to chemical etching and weathering. It is a relatively soft alloy that is very formable and is used extensively in thin gauge and foil products. It has good welding characteristics and it is also used as a filler alloy for welding purposes. Base metals that can be welded are ***0, ***0, ***0 and ***3.

Applications: Heat exchangers, Food handling equipment, Rivets, Tie wire, Metallizing.

Welding Current: DCEP

Alloy ***3 contains alloying elements 4.**5.2% magnesium, 0.**1.0% manganese as well as chromium and titanium. This alloy is commonly used on marine components, drilling rigs, cryogenics, railroad cars, storage tanks and unfired pressure vessels. Base metals commonly welded include ***3, ***6 and ***6 to similar base matals or to ***2, ***2 and ***6. The post-anodizing color tint is white.
