QuAlSi12 Rod – Laser Welding Wire Aluminium AlSi12 / ER4047 (3.2585)

QuAlSi12 Rod – Laser Welding Wire Aluminium AlSi12 / ER4047 (3.2585)

QuAlSi12 is the aluminium filler metal with the highest silicon content of the range: EN ISO 18273 S Al 4047A (AlSi12(A)) · AWS SFA-5.10 ER4047A · material no. 3.2585. At 12 % silicon it sits close to the eutectic point — giving it the lowest melting point and the best flow of all AlSi wires and the narrowest solidification range.

That is precisely why QuAlSi12 is the wire for difficult cases: thin-walled castings, gaps that have to be bridged, and dissimilar aluminium alloys where other fillers tend to hot-crack.

Recommended base materials

  • Aluminium-silicon alloys up to 12 % Si
  • Dissimilar aluminium alloys to each other
  • Joint and build-up welding

Typical applications

  • Repairs to thin-walled aluminium die castings
  • Gap bridging — the narrow solidification range helps
  • Joints between different aluminium alloys
  • Cases where AlSi5 or AlSi10 tend to hot-crack

Properties and advantages

  • Best flow of the AlSi range — near-eutectic, lowest melting point
  • Hot-crack resistant thanks to the narrow solidification range
  • Weld metal: Re 60 MPa · Rm 130 MPa · A 6 %
  • Shielding gas argon; post-processing material-typical

Rod form advantage: Ideal for manual build-up welding with constant wire feed — also in hard-to-reach areas.

Rod form: Rod lengths 1000 mm and 333 mm, Ø 0,2 mm – 0,8 mm.
