4043 is a general purpose type aluminum welding wire.  It is one of the oldest and most widely used welding and brazing alloys.  This aluminum alloy contains silicon additives, which result in improved fluidity (wetting action) of the weld pool and also produces a weld less sensitive to cracking.  Its bright weld finish makes it a popular choice of welders.  ER4043 can be used to weld various grades of aluminum.

Alloy 4043 is one of the oldest and most widely used welding and brazing alloys.  Almigweld and altigweld 4043 can be classified as a general purpose type filler alloy.  The silicon additions result in improved fluidity (wetting action) to make the alloy a preferred choice by welders.  The alloy is less sensitive to weld cracking and produces brighter, almost smut free welds.

Typical Applications

Welding Filler Wire
Spray and Flame Metallizing Wire
