AlcoTec R5183 Altigweld Aluminium Welding Rod

AlcoTec R5183 (R 5183) Altigweld Aluminium Welding Rod is specifically engineered for TIG (GTAW) welding applications, providing superior strength and corrosion resistance. With its high magnesium content, this rod is ideal for use with high-strength aluminium alloys like 5083, ensuring reliable and durable welds.

The design of R5183 is specially for applications requiring high fracture toughness and impact resistance, particularly in marine and structural environments. This rod offers excellent resistance to general and stress corrosion, making it perfect for components exposed to harsh conditions. However, it is not recommended for elevated temperature applications due to susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking.

Applications of R5183 Altigweld Aluminium Welding Rod

• Marine Structures: R5183 is crucial in shipbuilding and marine structures, offering excellent corrosion resistance in saltwater environments. It provides high strength and impact resistance, ensuring durability in the construction of hulls, decks, and other structural components.
• Structural Applications: This rod is ideal for welding aluminium structures, such as bridges and cranes, where high tensile strength is critical. Its ability to withstand stress and impact makes it suitable for components subjected to heavy loads and harsh conditions.
• Pressure Vessels: R5183 is great for welding aluminium pressure vessels and tanks that require high fracture toughness and strength. It ensures reliable performance and resistance to cracking under high pressure and temperature conditions.
• Railroad Components: The rod’s high mechanical properties make it ideal for fabricating and repairing aluminium railway cars and components. It ensures durability and longevity, reducing maintenance costs over time.
• General Fabrication: R5183 is perfect for general aluminium fabrication projects, including welding structural components, frames, and pipes. It provides smooth, consistent welds with minimal spatter and clean finishes.
