DETAILS
Higher Silicon content 11-13 % with low melting point for excellent fluidity which also enables to be used as brazing alloy on thin sections.
Features
- Substitute for 4043 to increase Silicon in weld metal
- Minimize hot cracking to produce higher fillet weld shear strength
- Cosmetic appearing welds
- Lower melting point and higher fluidity than 4043 wires
Typical Applications
- Automotive components
- Heat Exchangers
- Body panels
- Brazing of aluminum sheets, extrusions and castings
Welding Positions
- All except vertical down
Shielding Gas
- I1 : Inert gas Ar (100%), I3 : Inert gas Ar+ 0.5-95% He, Flow rate : 14-24 l/min (Argon)
