ER4043 aluminum TIG welding rod
Author: Time:2023-05-17
ER4043 is a silicon containing 5% of aluminum silicon alloy welding Rod, good fluidity, heat cracking ability, but the lack of ductility. Because of the high silicon content, it is easy to produce the brittle Mg2Si in the weld, so that the plastic and corrosion resistance of the joints can decrease. In addition, the color of the surface of the weld is dark, and the color of the base material is different from that of the base metal.
Use: used as filling materials except aluminum magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy parts and castings and the gas welding argon arc welding. Welding used in the 6061 and 6000 series aluminum alloy, 3000 series and 2000 series aluminum alloy and cast aluminum. Widely used in railway locomotives, chemical, food and other industries.

Note:
1. Al Si Rod while having a strong crack resistance, but plastic is poor, so after welding need plastic
deformation joints, should avoid using aluminum silicon Rod.
deformation joints, should avoid using aluminum silicon Rod.
2 . The oxide and oil stain on the edge of the workpiece must be removed before welding.
3. Welding can be used to hold the molten metal plate, in order to ensure
