DAIKOWM AlSi5

Widely utilized alloys, known for excellent aesthetic characteristics and smoothness, these alloys exhibit low sensitivity to weld cracking when paired with 6000 series base alloys. Their lower melting point and increased fluidity (due to Silicon content) result in better weld appearance compared to 5000 series filler alloys. However, the weld metal is not suitable for decorative anodizing. Applications span general constructions and the automotive industry, offering good mechanical properties and excellent corrosion resistance. The low melting point minimizes deformations in the parent metal, and the higher silicon content enhances fluidity while reducing the risk of hot cracking. This alloy is commonly employed for brazing aluminum sheets, extrusions, casting, and applications involving sustained elevated temperatures
