4000 Series Aluminium Rods for Electrical Applications

4000 Aluminium Alloy is a popular choice in MIG welding and brazing due to its excellent performance with heat-treatable metals. It's especially effective for welding aluminium alloys from the 6000 series and repairing aluminium-silicon cast alloys like grades 353 and A356. Its reduced sensitivity to weld cracking and ability to produce bright, smut-free welds make it a reliable option in industrial applications.

4043 series aluminium alloys primarily consist of aluminium and silicon, with the following typical chemical composition: (Al): 93.0% to 94.0%, (Si): 4.50-6.0%, (Mn): Maximum 0.15%, (Cu): Maximum 0.30%, (Fe): Maximum 0.60%, (Zn): Maximum 0.10%, and Residuals: Maximum 0.20%.

Application

  • Welding filler wire
  • Spray and flame metallizing wire
  • Recommended for welding 3003, 3004, 5052, 6061, 6063, and casting alloys 43, 355, 356, and 214
