Description

Sifmig 5556 Aluminium MIG Welding Wire – 1.2 mm x 6.5 Kg

Sifmig 5556 Aluminium MIG Welding Wire is a precision-crafted aluminium alloy wire, designed with a specific composition of 5.3% Magnesium and 0.8% Manganese. This unique blend ensures optimal weld strength. Notably, this wire produces a more robust weld metal compared to the standard 5% Mg 5356 alloy. It’s primarily intended for welding the 5083 (N8) alloy, a material extensively used in structural applications, and is especially suitable for military projects where maintaining full strength is paramount.

Key Features:

  • Enriched with 5.3% Magnesium and 0.8% Manganese for enhanced weld strength.
  • Offers superior strength over the 5% Mg 5356 alloy.
  • Precision diameter of 1.2mm ensures consistent welding performance.
  • Ideal for welding the widely-used 5083 (N8) alloy.

Common Applications:

Sifmig 5556 Aluminium MIG Welding Wire is versatile and is primarily used for:

  • Welding the 5083 (N8) alloy, a popular choice in structural applications.
  • Military projects where full strength retention is crucial.
