AlcoTec, an ESAB brand, has upgraded all its 4043 and 4047 aluminum MIG welding wire products with a proprietary and patented surface treatment technology. The enhanced AlcoTec 4000 series wires exhibit smoother feeding performance and fewer tangles, according to the company.
The 4000 series aluminum wires are widely used in automotive applications such as electric vehicles (EV) battery trays and bumper assemblies, as well as for bicycles and general fabrication. The MIG wires are available in diameters from 0.030 in. (0.8 mm) to 1/16 in. (1.6 mm), spool sizes of 1, 5, 16 and 20 lbs., and AlumaPak bulk drums of 50, 180 and 311 lbs.
AlcoTec also offers 5000 series aluminum wires manufactured with a patented manufacturing technology that minimizes or eliminates the shaving problem historically associated with these wires. AlcoTec 5356 offers improved wire feedability and arc stability to produce a clean, high quality aluminum welding wire that will not clog gun liners.
