2319 is about 6% Copper Aluminum filler metal which has high strength, excellent seawater corrosion resistance, better bending property and high fracture toughness, recommended for welding the construction of parts of 2xxx series; mainly apply to the air and spacecraft industries.
The ER2319 Aluminum Welding Wire is a high-performance filler metal alloyed with copper, specifically engineered for the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) of high-strength 2219 series aluminum alloys. This material is characterized by its ability to provide high tensile strength and thermal stability at elevated temperatures, making it a critical component in aerospace and defense manufacturing. The precision-drawn wire undergoes a rigorous cleaning process to remove surface oxides and lubricants, ensuring a stable arc and minimizing porosity in the weld bead. ER2319 is frequently utilized in applications requiring post-weld heat treatment, as it responds effectively to thermal aging processes to restore mechanical properties in the heat-affected zone.

When it comes to welding aluminum tanks and pressure vessels, selecting the right filler wire is crucial for ensuring structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance. ER2319 aluminum welding wire has emerged as a top choice in industries requiring high-strength, crack-resistant welds, particularly in aerospace-grade aluminum alloys and cryogenic storage applications.
1. Superior Strength & Crack Resistance
ER2319 is specifically designed for welding 2219 aluminum alloy, which is widely used in high-pressure tanks, LNG storage, and rocket fuel containers. Unlike ER4043 or ER5356, which are softer, ER2319 filler wire provides higher tensile strength (up to 310 MPa) and better resistance to hot cracking—a common issue in thick aluminum welds.
2. Excellent Performance in Cryogenic Conditions
For low-temperature applications (e.g., liquid nitrogen tanks, space launch systems), ER2319 maintains superior ductility and toughness, even at -250°C (-418°F). This makes it ideal for cryogenic pressure vessels where thermal stress resistance is critical.
3. Optimized for TIG & MIG Welding Processes
Whether using TIG (GTAW) or MIG (GMAW) welding, ER2319 delivers consistent arc stability and low porosity. Its copper (Cu) content (5.8-6.8%) enhances weld fluidity, reducing the risk of lack of fusion defects—especially in thick aluminum plate welding (10mm+).
4. Corrosion Resistance in Harsh Environments
While ER5356 filler wire is more common for marine applications, ER2319 offers better stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance in chemical storage tanks and high-pressure gas cylinders. Post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) can further enhance its corrosion performance.
