Introduction
This tag addresses the market need for filler metals that go beyond the common ER4043 and ER5356. We utilize our R&D partnership network (including Central South University) to produce wires with customized or proprietary compositions—such as those used for welding Al-Lithium (Al-Li) in launch vehicles or Al-Scandium (Al-Sc) for grain refinement. These alloys require meticulous control over trace elements and specialized production runs, offering unique properties like enhanced strength, fracture toughness, or thermal performance in the weld deposit.

High-performance applications requiring specific mechanical properties post-weld heat treatment.
FAQ
- Q: Can you develop a filler metal for welding 7075 aluminum?
- A: While 7075 is generally considered poor for fusion welding, we can supply specialized, high-zinc filler metals (e.g., based on Al-Zn-Mg) or alternative wire forms (e.g., Al-Li) to address crack sensitivity and maximize post-weld strength, often requiring strict heat treatment.
- Q: What is the benefit of adding Scandium to a filler metal?
- A: Scandium (Sc) acts as a powerful grain refiner, significantly improving the strength and reducing the grain size in the weld fusion zone, which is vital for fatigue resistance in critical applications.
