ER4043 ALSi5 ALUMINUM TIG ROD

ER4043 is a 5% Silicon aluminum alloy filler metal that is one of the most widely used aluminum welding alloys for fabrication and general repairs. 4043 is softer  and less brittle than 5356 and is often considered easier to work with.

Features:

• Alloyed primarily with silicon and magnesium
• Good fluidity of weld puddle
• Stellar corrosion resitance
• Commonly used for heat-treatable alloys 6061 and 6063
• Sometimes used for non heat-treatable alloy 3003 or aluminum cast
• Conforms to AWS A5.10, CWB
• Soft and easier to work with than alternatives
