Description
Aluminium ER1100 Filler Rods & Wires in TIG / MIG
ER1100 is 99% aluminum filler, typically used on similar base metal such as 1060, 1070, 1080, 1100, 1350, and 3003. ER1100 is highly resistant to chemical attack and weathering and has good crack resistance. It has highest electrical and thermal conductivity. It has excellent fluidity. Deposit is soft and ductile.
The proper choice of aluminum filler metal mainly depends on the base metal properties to be achieved and welding technique. Post weld cracking, corrosion resistance and behavior under elevated temperature also need to be taken into consideration. Cracking usually can be minimized by choosing a filler metal alloy of higher alloy content then the base metal.
ER1100 (commonly referred to as Al 99.5) is a 99% aluminum filler metal that is available in spools or cut lengths for MIG or TIG welding processes. ER1100 is commonly used for architectural and decorative applications, furniture, piping, deep drawing applications and spun hollow ware.
Common applications would include base metals 1100, 3003, and 3003 to similar base metals or to 1060,1070, 1080 and 1350.
