QuAlX10 Bobbin – Laser 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 materialsJoints and build-ups on aluminium wrought alloys (AlMgCuZn…)Casting alloys AlSiMg…AlSiCu — e.g. AL2014, AL2036, AL2219Typical applicationsAluminium mould makingComponents with a polished visible surfaceRepairs on aluminium castings and wrought alloysProperties and advantagesPolishes very well, bright weld metalLittle sootingNaturally ageing, low melting point, good flowHigh strength with high crack resistanceRod form: Rod lengths 1000 mm and 333 mm, Ø 0,3 mm – 0,8 mm.
