Description

Special coated electrode for AlSi cast alloy welding.
Suitable for repairs of aluminum parts in all sectors and especially aluminum alloys with a silicon content higher than 7%. It displays good weldability and no porosity. When welding, hold the electrode at a right angle to the workpiece, with a short arc. Wall thicknesses greater than 10 mm and larger workpieces will require preheating from 150°C to 250 °C. Since slag residues are corrosive, they must be completely removed from the weld bead. Widely used alloys thanks to their excellent aesthetic characteristics and smoothness.

Description

Application

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

Alloy Type

Consumables for welding aluminum alloys alloyed with Mg and Si.

Microstructure

Face-centered cubic lattice.

Materials

The alloy is suitable for sustained elevated temperature applications (> 65 °C). The alloy is designed for welding heat treatable base alloys.
