Part C4043 Manufacturer Specifications, Descriptions, and Features

Manufacturer Specifications:

• Material: Aluminum alloy (typically 4043)
• Diameter: Available in various standard diameters (e.g., 0.030", 0.035", 1/16", 3/32", 1/8")
• Tensile Strength: Approximately 186 MPa (27,000 psi)
• Melting Point: ~1,065°F (575°C)
• Chemical Composition: Primarily aluminum (92-95%) with silicon (4.5-6%) as the main alloying element
• AWS Classification: ER4043 (for TIG/MIG welding)

Descriptions:

• Type: Filler wire/rod for welding applications
• Primary Use: Welding aluminum alloys, particularly 6xxx series (e.g., 6061) and cast alloys
• Compatibility: Suitable for TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW) welding processes
• Surface Finish: Typically smooth, clean, and free from contaminants

Features:

• Excellent Fluidity: Reduces cracking in welds due to silicon content
• Good Corrosion Resistance: Matches well with base aluminum materials
