Characteristics & Applications
This welding material is suitable for welding base metals with high magnesium content and demanding high tensile strength, such as 5083/5654 aluminum alloy base metals. It boasts excellent seawater corrosion resistance, superior welding process performance, neat weld formation and minimal spatter. It is applicable for aluminum alloy welding in ships, railway locomotives, automobiles and other related fields.
The multi-strand stranded aluminum alloy welding wire enables the MIG welding arc to rotate with wire feeding, which exerts a real-time stirring effect on the molten pool. This helps eliminate gas pores and slag inclusions in the melt, promotes uniform composition of the weld seam, and reduces welding heat input, thus ensuring high weld quality.
Precautions
1.Adopt open-arc automatic welding, TIG welding or high-power plasma welding. The shielding gas shall be 100% argon (Ar).
2.The welding site must be well shielded from wind to prevent the dissipation of shielding gas and avoid welding defects.
3.Oil stains, oxide films and other contaminants on the welding area must be thoroughly removed.
