Maintaining a proper welding procedure - including pre-heat and interpass temperatures - may be
critical depending on the type and thickness of aluminum being welded.


See Above: This information was determined by welding using 100%Argon shielding gas with a flow rate between
35-50 cfh (14-24 l/min).

TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Description
4043 filler metal is a popular aluminum/silicon filler alloy for general purpose welding applications. Features/Benefits: - Moderate strength (28 ksi typical) - Low melting temperature/high fluidity - Low welding smut and discoloration - Low ductility, formability, and lower toughness - Moderate electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity - Excellent corrosion resistance - Low shrinkage rate/reduced distortion - Low hot cracking sensitivity in most applications
