Grade 5154, Al-Mg alloy wire is used for braiding in coaxial cable for shielding, with it's good performance.
Main Application: flexible coaxial cable, a variety of audio and video cable, vehicle signal cable, network cable, data transmission cable and so on.
ER5154 welding wire is an aluminum-based alloy material with an appropriate amount of magnesium added, which significantly improves the material's strength and oxidation resistance. It is commonly used in argon arc welding (TIG) and gas metal arc welding (MIG) and is a high-quality welding material.
Main features:
High strength: The addition of magnesium increases the hardness and tensile strength of the alloy.
Excellent corrosion resistance: Particularly suitable for use in wet and corrosive environments such as the marine and chemical industries.
Good welding performance: the joints after welding have high strength, good smoothness, and the welds are easy to process and polish.
Good processability: suitable for automated welding and manual welding processes.
Typical application areas
Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering
Suitable for manufacturing and repairing hulls, decks, containers and marine equipment. ER5154's salt spray corrosion resistance makes it perform well in marine environments.
Aerospace
Used for welding aircraft structural parts, fuel tanks and other high-strength lightweight components.
auto industry
Suitable for welding lightweight and high-strength components such as automobile bodies, fuel tanks, and aluminum frames.
buildings and infrastructure
For welding of curtain wall structures, bridge components and other aluminum building materials.
Pressure vessels and chemical equipment
Make tanks, pipes and other equipment resistant to corrosion, especially in acid, alkali or salt service environments.
outdoor equipment
Making outdoor furniture, sports equipment, bicycle parts, etc. requires corrosion-resistant aluminum products.
Things to note
When welding, the surface of the material must be kept clean and the oxide film and impurities must be removed.
It is recommended to use it with suitable shielding gas (such as argon) to ensure welding quality.
According to the welding process requirements, select the appropriate welding wire diameter and welding parameters.
Specifications and packaging
Diameter: Usually there are specifications such as 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.6mm, etc.
Packaging form: wire reel packaging (2kg, 5kg, 15kg, etc.) or customized according to customer needs.

Material matching:
ER5154 (Al-Mg3.1-3.9%) is compatible with the composition of marine 5083/5086 aluminum alloy parent materials to avoid electrochemical corrosion.
Performance advantages:
High resistance to seawater corrosion (Mg element forms a dense oxide film), low density (lightweight), good low-temperature toughness (applicable to polar ships).
Hull structure welding: MIG welding of decks, bulkheads, side plates and other parts.
Special parts: Low-temperature environment welding of liquefied natural gas (LNG) ship storage tanks.
Maintenance field: Repair welding of corrosion areas of magnesium and aluminum parts of the hull.
Oxide film problem:
The Al₂O₃ film (melting point 2050℃) on the surface of aluminum-magnesium alloy leads to the tendency of unfusion, and high-purity argon protection (≥99.99%) is required.
Hot crack sensitivity:
High magnesium content is prone to solidification cracks, and heat input needs to be controlled (recommendation: 80-120A, 20-25V).
Porosity defect:
Sudden change in hydrogen solubility causes pores, and strict cleaning is required before welding (acetone degreasing + stainless steel wire brush treatment).
Parameter optimization:
Pulse MIG welding: frequency 50-150Hz, base current 60A, peak current 180A, reduce heat input.
Multi-pass welding design: interlayer temperature is controlled below 100℃ (to avoid precipitation of Mg₂Si embrittled phase).
Equipment and consumables adaptation:
Use a push-pull wire feeder (such as Fronius push-pull gun), the inner diameter of the conductive nozzle ≥ 1.5 times the diameter of the welding wire.
Protection gas ratio: Ar + 30% He improves arc stability (suitable for thick plate welding).
Quality control:
Non-destructive testing: X-ray flaw detection (porosity ≤ 3%), penetration testing (surface cracks).
Case data: After a shipyard adopts the optimized process:
Welding efficiency increased by 25% (single-pass welding speed reached 50cm/min);
Weld tensile strength ≥ 290MPa (reaching more than 90% of the parent material);
Salt spray test for 500 hours without pitting (in line with DNV-GL standards).
