Engweld stocks aluminium mig wire in different diameters and packaging sizes including plastic and metal baskets suitable for different welding applications.
Aluminium is lightweight and highly conductive metal which makes it easy to handle and transport and ideal for mig welding applications that require precise control of the weld bead. Aluminium is trickier to weld than steel, as it is very conductive and has a low melting point.
Generally, the most common aluminium MIG wires are 4043 and 5356. 4043 – An aluminium alloy with 5% silicon giving excellent flow characteristics and penetration. 5356 aluminium MIG wire is a high-quality welding wire that is specifically designed for welding aluminium alloys. This wire is made of magnesium and is ideal for welding a wide range of aluminium alloys, including those with a high magnesium content.
Another advantage of using aluminium for aluminium mig welding is its excellent flow characteristics and excellent corrosion resistance which makes it suitable for welding structures that may be exposed to harsh weather conditions and other environmental factors.
It is important to note that when welding with aluminium mig wire you should use a low amperage setting and a high wire feed speed to prevent the aluminium wire from overheating and to create a strong and precise weld and to ensure you achieve maximum performance.
If you need pure argon shielding gas when aluminium welding we can also quote and supply this as your one stop shop aluminium mig wire and welding gas supplier.
Engweld also stocks Mild Steel MIG Wire, Stainless Steel MIG Wire, Bulk MIG Wires, Flux Cored Wires, Hardfacing & Specialist MIG Wires and Mini MIG Wire Reels.
Also see MIG Welders to select which mig welding machine is correct for your welding application and also our range of wire feed rollers should you need specific aluminium mig wire rollers.
