AlcoTec ATC404316035 16Lbs Of Almigweld 4043 Aluminum MIG Welding Wire

AlcoTec ATC404316035 16Lbs Of Almigweld 4043 Aluminum MIG Welding Wire is a general-purpose type aluminum welding wire. It contains silicon additives, which result in improved fluidity (wetting action) of the weld pool and also produces a weld less sensitive to cracking. Its bright weld finish makes it a popular choice of welders. It can be used to weld various grades of aluminum.

Description:

• Solid TIG and MIG wires for welding pure Aluminum.
• Weld metal with excellent ductility, corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity.
• Good colour match with materials to be anodised

TIG 4043/MIG 4043

Description:

• Solid TIG and MIG Aluminium wires with 5% Silicon
• For welding Al/Si and Al/Mg/Si alloys
• Excellent resistance hot cracking
• Melting range of 550 to 650 degree centigrade

Metal inert gas (MIG) welding uses a consumable wire electrode and shielding gas, which is continuously fed through a welding gun. Aluminum requires some specific changes for welders who are accustomed to welding steel. It's a much softer metal so the feed wire must be larger. Aluminum is also a better conductor of heat, so welding aluminum requires more control over the power supply and the feed rate of the electrode.
