Introduction
Aerospace applications demand the highest possible material quality and traceability. Our aerospace-grade wire is produced under a certified Quality Management System that mandates ultra-low levels of impurities, non-standard alloy compositions (like ER2319 or Al-Li compatible fillers), and extremely tight chemical and dimensional tolerances. The wire is shaved, multi-stage cleaned, and sealed in inert gas to ensure zero defects and consistent performance in the most demanding welding applications, such as large-scale fuel tanks or airframe structures.

FAQ
- Q: What is the primary aluminum alloy filler metal used for welding 2XXX base metals in aerospace?
- A: ER2319 (Al-Cu) is the standard filler metal used for 2XXX series base metals (like 2219) because it provides a weld deposit that is heat-treatable, allowing the final assembly to achieve the high strength required for airframe structures.
- Q: Why is cleanliness more critical for aerospace welding than for general fabrication?
- A: Contaminants (especially oxides/moisture) lead to porosity. In aerospace, this porosity can drastically reduce the fatigue life and fracture toughness of the structure, leading to catastrophic failure under cyclic loading.
