Svetstråd ESAB OK Tigrod 4043 (Tigrod 18.04)
Silicon alloyed aluminum wire of type AlSi5 for TIG welding of AlMgSi and AlSi alloys with silicon contents up to 7%. The wire is recommended for e.g. EN-AW-6063 (SS4104), EN-AW-6082 (SS4212), EN-AW-42000 (SS4244), EN-AW-42100 (SS4245) and corresponding Al alloys according to other standards. The welding material has a high safety against cracks. Color matching between weld metal and base material during anodizing is less good. As with all aluminum welding, a high degree of discipline applies regarding cleanliness and minimization of oxide layers on joint surfaces and additive materials.
