Product Description
AWS A5.10 ER1100 is a classification for a specific type of **aluminum filler metal** used in welding. It signifies a **commercially pure aluminum alloy**, containing a minimum of 99.0% aluminum. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where high purity and excellent corrosion resistance are paramount.
The ER1100 wire boasts several key characteristics that make it valuable for various applications. It offers **exceptional corrosion resistance** to both atmospheric conditions and chemical agents, crucial for longevity. Its high purity also ensures **superior electrical and thermal conductivity**, making it suitable for electrical components. Furthermore, welds created with ER1100 are highly **ductile and formable**, allowing for subsequent shaping without cracking. It provides a stable arc and produces clean welds with minimal spatter.
ER1100 **aluminum welding wire** is highly versatile, compatible with both **MIG welding (Gas Metal Arc Welding)** and **TIG welding (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding)** processes. For MIG welding, it’s typically available on spools, while for TIG, it comes in straight cut lengths as filler rods. Utilizing a pure argon shielding gas is generally recommended to ensure optimal weld quality and prevent atmospheric contamination.
ER1100 is primarily used to weld other **commercially pure aluminum alloys**, particularly those within the 1XXX series. Common base metals include **1100, 1060, 1070, 1080, and 3003**. It's also frequently used for joining 3003 to similar base metals, where maintaining the purity of the weld is critical.
The unique properties of **ER1100 aluminum filler metal** make it suitable for a diverse range of applications. Its excellent corrosion resistance and ductility lead to its use in **architectural and decorative applications**, as well as **food handling equipment** and **chemical storage tanks**. Its high electrical conductivity makes it ideal for **electrical conductors** like busbars. Other uses include **piping, heat exchangers, and deep drawing applications** where the weld needs to be highly formable.
Yes, a notable advantage of using ER1100 is its **good color matching after anodizing**. Welds made with this wire often develop a slight golden hue when anodized, contributing to a consistent and attractive finish, which is beneficial for visible components and decorative aluminum structures.
To achieve high-quality welds with ER1100, proper preparation is essential. **Thorough cleaning of the base metal** is crucial to remove any oxide layers, oils, or contaminants, which can otherwise lead to porosity and other weld defects. For thicker sections or heavier parts, **preheating the material** to around 150°C (302°F) can significantly improve weld quality and reduce the risk of cracking. Additionally, using a **backing plate** can help support the molten weld pool, especially on thinner materials, ensuring proper bead formation.
