Aluminum Welding Wire ER5183

ER5183 Aluminum Welding Wire – Marine & Cryogenic Grade

As a Er5183 Aluminum Welding Wire.html manufacturer, we match product configuration to the application, operating limits, interfaces and acceptance criteria defined for each project.

Hangzhou Kunli Welding Materials Co., Ltd. is a high-technology manufacturer and supplier of ER5183 aluminum welding wire, engineered for demanding applications in shipbuilding, offshore structures, cryogenic storage, and heavy transport. With over 20 years of aluminum alloy wire production experience, we combine advanced manufacturing equipment, strict quality control, and international certifications to deliver consistent weld performance.

Our ER5183 wire is a magnesium-manganese alloy (AlMg4.5Mn0.7) that provides higher as-welded strength than ER5356 while maintaining excellent ductility at cryogenic temperatures. It is the preferred filler for welding 5xxx series base metals such as 5083, 5086, and 5183, as well as for joining 6xxx and 7xxx series alloys in structural applications.

Product Range & Positioning

We supply ER5183 in a variety of diameters and packaging forms to suit MIG, TIG, and automated welding processes. Our range includes:

• MIG wire: diameters 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, 1.6, 2.4 mm
• TIG wire: diameters 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0, 3.2, 4.0, 5.0 mm (straight rods)
• Drum packaging: 40 kg, 80 kg for automated feeding
• Coil packaging: 8–15 kg for manual operations

Each spool is produced with a shaved surface, chemically degreased, and hydrogen content below 0.12 ml/100g to ensure smooth feeding and minimal porosity.

Applications & Material Fit

ER5183 is specifically formulated for gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) of aluminum alloys that require high strength and corrosion resistance. Typical applications include:

Critical Specifications & Performance

Our ER5183 wire meets AWS A5.10 and ISO 18273 standards, with typical mechanical properties that match 5083 base metal:

• As-welded tensile strength: 330–370 MPa
• Elongation: 16–20%
• Melting range: 1075–1180°F (579–638°C)
• Density: 2.66 g/cm³
• Thermal conductivity: 110–120 W/m·K

The wire diameter tolerance is controlled within ±0.008 mm, and surface roughness is below 0.4 μm, ensuring consistent feeding through liners and contact tips even at high travel speeds.

Configuration Options & Customization

We offer flexible configuration to match your production requirements:

• Packaging: D200 (2 kg), D300 (7 kg), K355 (50 kg), pay-off drum (180 kg), or custom spool sizes
• Surface finish: Shaved or chemically cleaned, with optional degreasing
• Shielding gas: 100% Argon (99.996%) or Argon-Helium 75/25 for heavy sections
• OEM/ODM: We can produce wire with your brand labeling and packaging

For automated welding lines, we supply drums and bulk packaging that minimize downtime and ensure uninterrupted feeding.

Welding Process Parameters

To achieve optimal results, we recommend the following parameters for GMAW with 1.2 mm wire:

Quality Assurance & Certifications

Our ER5183 wire is manufactured under a strict quality control system and has obtained international certifications including DB, CE, ABS, DNV, and CCS. Each batch is tested for chemical composition and mechanical properties, and batch test certificates are available upon request.

We also collaborate with research institutions such as Beijing Nonferrous Metals Research Institute and Central South University to continuously improve product performance. Our wire is used by companies like China CRRC and Maersk, replacing imported products in critical applications.

Storage & Handling

To maintain wire quality, store spools in original vacuum-sealed packaging at 10–35°C with relative humidity below 55%. Opened spools should be used within 72 hours; for longer storage, place in a heated cabinet at 35–45°C. Always use clean gloves when handling wire to prevent contamination.
