1100 is about 99% pure Aluminum filler metal, which has excellent processability, higher corrosion resistance and tenacity, for welding 1000 series alloy metal mainly. Because of the soft performance, the feed status should be careful in MIG welding.
Mainly apply to high voltage bus, distribution box, heat exchanger, chemical and food etc.

The push for electric vehicle (EV) lightweighting has made high-purity aluminum welding a critical process in manufacturing. Among the top filler metals for this application, ER1100 aluminum welding wire stands out due to its 99% minimum aluminum content, making it ideal for joining 1060, 1070, and 1100 aluminum alloys—common materials in EV battery enclosures and trays.
Unlike ER4043 or ER5356 aluminum filler wires, which contain silicon or magnesium, ER1100 TIG and MIG welding wire offers superior corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity—key factors for battery tray durability. Additionally, its low melting point (1,220°F/660°C) and excellent weldability minimize heat distortion, crucial for thin aluminum sheets used in lightweight EV structures.
High Ductility & Formability: Ensures crack-free welds in deep-drawn aluminum battery housings.
Minimal Intermetallic Formation: Unlike silicon-based wires (e.g., ER4043 filler metal), ER1100 reduces brittleness in welds.
Compliance with AWS A5.10 Standards: Meets stringent automotive welding specifications for safety-critical components.
