Aluminum tig welding filler rod chart.
If you have any questions on which filler alloy to use please contact one of our aluminum welding specialists at 1 800 228 0750.
Stainless steel mild steel copper alloys aluminum alloys nickel alloys titanium alloys.
It is also used quite successfully for welding aluminum armor alloy 2519.
Alcotec offers a filler alloy selection chart that compares the performance of each filler alloy against each of the following variables.
The chart below has been provided for you to more easily select the correct filler alloy for your welding project.
The most complete line of high quality washington alloy brand 36 cut length filler metal for virtually every tig welding brazing application.
There are some misconceptions within the industry that you can successfully weld any aluminum base alloy with either 4043 or 5356 filler alloy.
Er4043 for welding 6000 series aluminum alloys along with most casting alloys.
The only 2xxx filler alloy readily available is 2319.
Aluminum copper filler alloys.
In tig welding you feed the filler rod into the molten puddle by hand.
This will result in a weld that cracks as it cools.
Depending on the type of weld joint and loading lower filler metal strengths may be acceptable or desirable for specific designs.
As a basic description we can say that 4043 is an aluminum filler alloy with 5 silicon added and that 5356 is an aluminum filler alloy with 5 magnesium added.
In those cases electrode selection should be limited to.
High performance tig welding filler metal for every application.
This typically covers automotive components such as frame and drive shafts and bicycle frames.
There are two standard rods used in tig although others are available.
While this may work in some instances it s crucial that you do not weld 6061 aluminum using 6061 as filler metal.
The thickness of the material you will be welding also determines the required diameter of the filler rod.
A lot of people think that making their own filler rod by cutting thin strips from the base metal will give them the best match of chemistry.
Choosing the correct filler alloy for aluminum is based on the operating conditions of the finished welded component and consideration of a number of variables that can affect the operating condition of the weld.
Your choice of filler rod is extremely important as the rod must correctly match the alloy of the material you will be welding.
This alloy contains copper cu manganese mn and titanium ti and it was designed as a matching filler metal for the 2219 alloy.
