QuAlX10 TIG Welding Wire Aluminium AlSi10Cu4 / AL4145 – Polishable, Bright Weld Metal
QuAlX10 TIG Welding Wire Aluminium AlSi10Cu4 / AL4145 – Polishable, Bright Weld Metal
QuAlX10 is the naturally ageing AlSi alloy with copper: AWS A5.10 AL4145 · EN ISO 18273 AL4145 (AlSi10Cu4).
What makes it interesting in mould making is the surface: the datasheet cites bright weld metal, little sooting and very good polishability at high strength and crack resistance. The low melting point and good flow (Si 10 %) also make it forgiving to process — the combination needed on aluminium moulds and castings that remain visible afterwards.
Recommended base materials
- Joints and build-ups on aluminium wrought alloys (AlMgCuZn…)
- Casting alloys AlSiMg…
- AlSiCu — e.g. AL2014, AL2036, AL2219
Typical applications
- Aluminium mould making
- Components with a polished visible surface
- Repairs on aluminium castings and wrought alloys
Properties and advantages
- Polishes very well, bright weld metal
- Little sooting
- Naturally ageing, low melting point, good flow
- High strength with high crack resistance
TIG advantage: For larger deposit areas on cast and forged parts.
TIG welding wire packaging: 1,000 mm rod, 1 kg cardboard tube, 5 kg carton ,Ø 1.0 – 3.2 mm.
