AFM ER1100 Aluminum Wire
AFM ER1100 wires and rods are generally recommended for welding 1100 and 3003 aluminum sheets, plates and shapes.

 

AFM ER4043 Aluminum Wire
AFM ER4043 wires and rods are generally recommended for welding 2014, 5052, 6061, and 6101 (in various conditions of heat treatment and 6063 sheets, plates and shapes).

AFM ER4047 Aluminum Wire
AFM ER4047 12% Silicon Aluminum brazing rod is recommended for torch brazing and dip or furnace brazing of the following grades of wrought aluminum: 1060, 1100, 3003, 5005, 6061, 6063, and cast alloys A612 and C612 for lap or tee joints, rather than butt joints when used with the proper aluminum brazing flux.

AFM ER5183 Aluminum Wire
AFM ER5183 is the optimum wire and rod for both strength and ductility, stronger than AFM ER5356 with similar ductility, not quite as strong as AFM ER5556 but has better ductility. AFM ER5183 is most frequently used on 5083 base plate. It is also used to weld 6061, 6063, 5086, 7005 and 7039 alloys. The most common applications are liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen containers.
AFM ER5356 Aluminum Wire
AFM ER5356 wires and rods are generally recommended for welding 5050, 5052, 5083, 5154, 5356, 6061, and 6063 aluminum alloys. This wire is to be employed in all types of structural aluminum fabrication where post heat treatment is not feasible as a method of producing higher strength welded joints. The tensile properties of the base materials of the aluminum-magnesium type are not as drastically affected by the heat of the welding arc as are the heat-treated high strength aluminum alloys. Excellent for color match application.
AFM ER5556 Aluminum Wire
AFM ER5556 wires and rods are generally recommended for welding 5083, 5086 and 5456 high tensile aluminum alloys. This wire is to be employed in all types of structural aluminum fabrication where post heat treatment is not feasible as a method of producing higher strength welded joints. The tensile properties of the base materials of the aluminum-magnesium type are not as drastically affected by the heat of the welding arc as are the heat treated high strength aluminum alloys.
