DETAILS

4043 is a great choice for the welding of heat-treatable base alloys and more specifically the 6XXX series alloys. It has a lower melting point and more fluidity than the 5XXX series filler alloys and is preferred by welders because of its favorable operating characteristics. ER4043 type wires may reduce crack sensitivity with the 6XXX series base alloys. 4043 is suitable for sustained elevated temperature service, i.e. above 65°C.

Features

  • Designed for welding heat-treatable base alloys and more specifically the 6XXX series alloys
  • Lower melting point and more fluidity than the 5XXX series filler alloys
  • Low sensitivity to weld cracking with the 6XXX series base alloys

Typical Applications

  • 6XXX alloys, and most casting alloys
  • Automotive components such as frame and drive shafts
  • Bicycle frames
  • Bicycle frames

Welding Positions

  • All except vertical down

Shielding Gas

  • I1 : Inert gas Ar (100%), I3 : Inert gas Ar+ 0.5-95% He, Flow rate : 14.2-23.6 l/min
