Welding wire is a metal wire welding material used as a filler metal or as a conductive material. Its raw material is aluminum alloy. Aluminum welding wire manufacturers recommend that the commonly used grades of marine aluminum welding wire are 5183 and 5356.
ER5183 & ER5356
ER5183 aluminum welding wire is an aluminum-magnesium welding wire containing nearly 5% magnesium and a higher manganese content. It has a higher magnesium content requirement for welding, has a strong tensile strength, and has excellent resistance to seawater corrosion and low temperature performance. The weld is white after anodizing, which can provide a good color match for the welded joint.
ER5356 aluminum welding wire is an aluminum alloy welding wire with high strength and corrosion resistance. It uses pure aluminum as the welding core and adds an appropriate amount of magnesium, silicon and other elements to maintain the corrosion resistance of the welding surface. It is a general-purpose aluminum-magnesium alloy welding wire with high silicon, low magnesium and good fluidity. Due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, it is widely used in aluminum alloy welding in aviation, aerospace, automobiles, bicycles, fishing rods, ships, construction, cables and other fields. 5356 aluminum-magnesium welding wire has classification society certification.
