QuCu82 TIG Welding Wire – Silicon Bronze CuSi3 / ERCuSi-A (2.1461)

QuCu82 is the silicon bronze: EN ISO 24373 S Cu 6560 (CuSi3Mn1) · AWS A5.7 ERCuSi-A · material no. 2.1461. With 3 % silicon it is the stronger of quada's two silicon bronzes (80 HB, Rm 390 MPa).Silicon makes the weld pool more fluid and deoxidising — which is why these wires are the easiest entry into copper welding. They join copper, low-alloy copper alloys, brass (CuZn) and silicon bronzes, and can also be used for build-ups on steel and cast iron. Where more ductility is needed, use QuCu84 (Si 1.8 %, A 45 %).Recommended base materialsCopper and low-alloy copper alloysCopper-zinc alloys (brass)Silicon bronzesBuild-ups on unalloyed and low-alloy steels and cast ironTypical applicationsJoint welding on copper and brassBuild-up welding on steel and cast ironRepairs on silicon bronze componentsArt casting and restorationProperties and advantagesSi 3 % — fluid, deoxidising weld metal80 HB, Re 150 MPa · Rm 390 MPa · A 40 %Stronger than QuCu84 (62 HB)Also usable on steel and cast ironBobbin form: K125, K250, K80, MA125, SH253 — wire weight 100 g–500 g, Ø 0,3 mm – 0,8 mm.

QuCu84 is the ductile silicon bronze: EN ISO 24373 S/G Cu 6511 (CuSi2Mn1) · AWS A5.7 ERCuSi-A · material no. 2.1522. With 1.8 % silicon it is softer than QuCu82 (62 HB) — in return it offers 45 % elongation, the highest figure in quada's entire copper range.That makes it the choice when the seam has to yield: on thin sheet, on low-zinc brasses (CuZn5, CuZn10, CuZn15) and on build-ups that are later formed or heavily loaded. Also suitable for build-ups on unalloyed steel and cast iron.Recommended base materialsCopper and low-alloy copper alloysCuZn5, CuZn10, CuZn15 (brass)Silicon bronzesBuild-up welding on unalloyed and low-alloy steel, cast ironTypical applicationsJoint welding on copper and brassBuild-up welds requiring high formabilityThin sheet and components with stress in the seamBuild-ups on steel and cast ironProperties and advantagesA 45 % elongation — the most ductile copper filler in quada's range62 HB, Re 285 MPa · Rm 530 MPaSofter and tougher than QuCu82 (Si 3 %)Also usable on steel and cast ironTIG advantage: For larger seams on copper and brass.
