Introduction
Manufacturing transport equipment, particularly large shipping containers (like those used by Maersk) and road trailers, requires welding materials that balance high deposition rates with long-term structural integrity. Our filler wires, mainly high-Magnesium alloys, deliver the necessary strength and resistance to fatigue and corrosion that these constantly stressed structures demand. The consistent quality supports continuous, high-speed welding processes, maximizing production efficiency while ensuring compliance with stringent freight classification requirements.

Applications
Welding of aluminum dry freight and refrigerated shipping containers (e.g., Maersk containers).
Fabrication of heavy-duty aluminum dump truck bodies and flatbed trailers.
Construction of specialized transportation tankers and silos.
Repair and modification of existing container fleets.
FAQ
- Q: What is the main benefit of using ER5556 over ER5356 for heavy-duty trailers?
- A: ER5556 has a slightly higher Magnesium content, which provides an incremental increase in tensile strength and typically better performance in elevated temperature applications compared to ER5356.
- Q: How do you ensure the wires feed consistently on container fabrication lines?
- A: We use precision layer-winding on our spools and drums combined with proprietary cleaning techniques to minimize wire friction and eliminate helix/cast issues that cause feed interruptions.
