ER5356 aluminum filler materials are used mainly for welding aluminum of like composition. This type is also useful if color match is important after anodizing, if higher weld strengths are required or when extra ductility is helpful. This material can be used with the inert gas welding processes. It is essential that all aluminum alloys and welding filler wires are clean and free from contamination.

ER5183 can be used on type base materials 5083 and 5456. ER5183 is not recommended for sustained elevated temperature service. This material can be used with the inert gas arc welding processes. They can also be used with electron beam or oxyfuel gas welding processes. It is essential that all aluminum alloys and welding filler wires are clean and free from contamination.

ER4043 aluminum filler materials are silicon-aluminum types for welding of the following: 5154, 6052, 6053, 6082 and similar other silicon-aluminum alloys. This material can be used with the inert gas welding processes. It is essential that all aluminum alloys and welding filler wires are clean and free from contamination.
