Product Catalog
Executive 5183 is the most common aluminum-magnesium alloy for welding 5083 base metal in ship building applications. With high strength values this makes Executive 5183 excellent in saltwater corrosion resistance when welded to 5083. Executive aluminum wire is non-annealed which allows for smoother feedability especially when utilizing long MIG guns. Our enhanced feedability design uses less lubricant than standard aluminum wire resulting in considerably less fume generation.
Application and Features
Executive 5183 is typically utilized in marine and structural applications where high strengths, high fracture toughness for impact resistance and exposure to corrosive elements are important. Suitable for cryogenic tanks, shipbuilding and other high strength structural; aluminum applications, bicycle frames, railing and offshore industries.
This wire is also suitable for laser welding and WAAM applications (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing, aka Metal 3D printing).
