5183 grade MIG wire for welding 5083 and some other aluminium alloys. Offers excellent corrosion resistance and high strength (especially at lower temperatures), and is often used for applications such as boat-building, marine, cryogenics, etc. Sometimes referred to as 'marine grade'. Manufactured with strict quality-control, layer-wound for reliable wire feeding. Available in 1.2mm 6kg.

• High strength & toughness, especially at lower temperatures
• Excellent corrosion resistance due to slightly lower magnesium content (vs 5356 wire)
• Higher wire strength & better feedability
• All-positional

Specification

• AWS 5.10 ER5183
• AS/NZS ISO 18273 - S AI 5183
• All-positional
• Polarity: DC+ (Wire/torch positive, Earth negative)
• Shielding Gas: 100% Argon
• Wire brushing between each pass is recommended to ensure removal of surface oxide build up
• Welding alloys such as 5083, 5086, 5456, to each other or to 5052, 5652 and 5056
• Ideal for boats/marine, cryogenic plants, etc where corrosion / seawater resistance and toughness at lower temperatures is required
