MATRIX AL4043

MATRIX Aluminum Wire AL4043, classified as ER4043, is a high-quality aluminum-silicon filler metal widely used in MIG and TIG welding applications. Composed primarily of aluminum with approximately 5% silicon, this wire offers excellent weld ability, low melting point, and smooth bead appearance, making it a preferred choice for a wide range of fabrication and repair jobs.

ER4043 aluminum wire is especially effective when welding 6XXX series aluminum alloys such as 6061, 6063, and 3003. Known for its outstanding crack resistance and easy feeding characteristics, this wire produces high-quality, visually appealing welds with minimal spatter and good corrosion resistance under normal atmospheric conditions.

Key Features

  • Alloy Composition: Aluminum-Silicon (approx. 5% Si)
  • Excellent Weldability: Flows smoothly and reduces risk of hot cracking
  • Low Melting Temperature: Ideal for thinner materials and intricate welds
  • Bright, Smooth Bead Appearance: Clean, aesthetic welds with good color match for most applications
  • Good Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for general-purpose use in non-marine environments
  • High Feed-ability: Consistent wire feeding in both spool guns and push-pull systems

Typical Applications

  • Welding of 6XXX series aluminum alloys (6061, 6063, 3003, 3004, etc.)
  • General fabrication and structural aluminum welding
  • Automotive repairs and aluminum frames
  • Construction, piping, and storage tanks
  • Bicycles, trailers, ladders, and furniture
  • HVAC systems and heat exchangers
