Aluminum MIG Wire
Super Glaze

1100
ER1100
Super Glaze

1100 is highly resistant to chemical corrosion and has good crack resistance. Suitable for electrical and chemical applications
utilizing aluminum base metal with little or no alloying elements. Like all 1XXX filler alloys, Lincoln's
aluminum MIG wire and requires extra care to ensure good feeding.
Super Glaze

4043
ER4043
Super Glaze
®
4043 is a great choice for the welding of heat-treatable base alloys and more specifically the 6XXX series alloys. It has a lower
melting point and more fluidity than the 5XXX series filler alloys and is preferred by welders because of its favorable operating characteristics.
ER4043 type wires are also less sensitive to weld cracking with the 6XXX series base alloys. Super Glaze
elevated temperature service, i.e. above 150°F (65°C).
Super Glaze

4047
ER4047
A lower melting point and higher fluidity are two advantages Super Glaze
produces very clean weld deposits and possesses excellent operator appeal. It can be used as a substitute for an ER4043 type wire to increase
silicon in the weld metal, minimize hot cracking, and produce higher fillet weld shear strength. Super Glaze
elevated temperature service, i.e. above 150°F (65°C).
Super Glaze

5183
ER5183
Super Glaze
®
5183 is designed to weld high magnesium alloys to meet higher tensile strength requirements. Use on 5083 and 5654 base
materials when required tensile strengths are 40,000 psi (276 MPa) or greater. Typical applications are in the marine and cryogenic industries,
and high strength structural aluminum fabrication.
Super Glaze
®
5356
ER5356
Super Glaze
®
5356 is our most popular aluminum MIG wire. It is a great general purpose filler alloy designed for the welding of 5XXX series
alloys when 40,000 psi (276 MPa) tensile strength is not required. 5356 is often chosen for its high shear strength.
Super Glaze
®
5554
ER5554
Super Glaze
®
5554 is intended as a matching filer alloy when welding 5454 base alloys. This alloy is a lower magnesium content alloy and is
often used for automotive wheels, over-the-road trailers, and rail tank cars where the weld filler metal chemistry must closely match the base
material chemistry to maximize corrosion performance.
Super Glaze

Arc Welding is safe when sufficient measures are taken to protect the welder from potential hazards. Recognize and safeguard yourself against these hazards, such as electric shock, overexposure to arc
radiation, fumes and gases. Every welder should be familiar with the ANSI Z49.1 documents, "Safety in Welding and Cutting", available from the American Welding Society, Miami, Florida. Also request
