Aluminum Welding Rods - 5% Magnesium (Mg)
Aluminium Welding Wire – 5% Magnesium (Mg)
Our reliable aluminium welding wire with 5% magnesium is the correct choice for welding and repairing aluminium-magnesium alloys. The magnesium additive provides a weld joint with high tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments and harsh weather conditions.
This wire is engineered to deliver a tough and strong joint that withstands mechanical stress without compromising the natural properties of the material.
Features and Benefits:
- High Strength: Provides one of the highest strengths among aluminium alloys, making it ideal for structural applications.
- Marine Protection: Outstanding resistance to corrosion in saltwater and humid environments.
- Color Match: Offers an excellent color match during subsequent anodizing (eloxation) of the material.
- Toughness: Creates a joint that is less brittle and exhibits good fatigue strength.
Important for a Successful Result:
When oxy-acetylene welding aluminium, the use of our aluminium welding flux is required. This is essential to break down the tough oxide layer and ensure the filler material flows completely into the workpiece.
Specifications & Sizes:
We offer this wire in two diameters to cover everything from thinner sheet metal to heavier components.
- Dimensions:
- 1.6 mm diameter (Length: 750 mm)
- 3.2 mm diameter (Length: 1000 mm)
- Packaging: Choose between 0.5 kg or 1.0 kg.
- Alloy: Aluminium with 5% Magnesium (Mg).
- Welding method: Gas welding (Oxy-Acetylene).
Pro Tip: For the best results, heat the end of the welding wire and dip it into the aluminium flux. Then quickly heat the flux on the wire so that it melts and runs down a section of the rod – this ensures a smooth and steady supply of flux throughout the welding process.
