Description
⚡ ER5183 AlMg4.5Mn Aluminum TIG Welding Wire
ER5183 aluminum welding wire is a high-strength filler metal used for welding aluminum-magnesium alloys containing up to 5% magnesium, particularly in structural and marine applications. With added manganese (Mn), this wire provides excellent crack resistance, high tensile strength, and superior corrosion resistance—especially in saltwater environments. Manufactured according to EN ISO 18273, it is ideal for shipbuilding, offshore structures, storage tanks, pressure vessels, and high-load components.
✅ Key Features
- High strength – suitable for demanding structural applications
- Excellent resistance to corrosion – perfect for marine use
- Good crack resistance due to added manganese
- Stable arc and clean weld bead appearance
- Compatible with 5xxx series aluminum alloys (e.g. 5083, 5456)
✅ Technical Specifications
- Catalog Number: MG432P
- Wire Diameter: 3.2 mm
- Welding Method: TIG
- Base Material: Aluminum
- Material Type: AlMg4.5Mn – ER5183
- Net Weight: 2.5 kg
- Total Weight with Packaging: 2.72 kg
