Aluminum MIG Welding Wire

DETAILS

5183 is designed to weld high magnesium alloys to meet higher tensile strength requirements. Use on 5083 and 5654 base materials when required tensile strengths are 40,000 psi (276 MPa) or greater. Typical applications are in the marine and cryogenic industries, and high strength structural aluminium fabrication

Features

  • Designed for applications where higher strength is required
  • For 5083 and 5456 base materials
  • Excellent corrosion resistance ideal for Ship building and marine applications

Typical Applications

  • Marine fabrication and repair
  • Cryogenic tanks
  • Shipbuilding and other high strength structural aluminum applications
  • Railcars
  • Offshore industry

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)
