Aluminum tIG welding rod ER5183
ER5183 is a premium aluminum-magnesium welding wire specifically designed for joining 5XXX series alloys. With optimized magnesium content (4.3-5.2%) and manganese additives, it delivers superior strength and corrosion resistance compared to standard Al-Si wires.
Standards: AWS A5.10 ER5183
Contains approximately 5% magnesium, offering excellent mechanical properties and higher tensile strength than standard Al-Si wires
Magnesium-rich formulation is particularly effective in marine environments and other corrosive settings, making it ideal for shipbuilding and other marine applications.
Minimal discoloration after anodizing
All-position capability (including vertical-down)
Shielding Gas: 100% Argon
Marine & Offshore:Ship hulls and superstructures, offshore platform components
Transportation: High-speed train carriages, heavy-duty truck frames
Pressure Equipment: chemical storage tanks, cryogenic vessels
