Inweld 4043 is a silicon-aluminum wire for welding of 5052 and 6063 types; in some cases, other aluminums
are also welded with this type. Silicon content is 5%. Inweld 4043 can also be used for welding 3003, 3004,
6061, and casting alloys 43, 355, 356, and 214. Brazing of 1100 and 3003 can be accomplished with free
flowing 4043 composition. The post-anodizing color tint is gray.

- Excellent Fluidity – Produces smooth, clean weld beads
- Low Melting Point
- Good Weldability – Stable arc and good feeding characteristics
- High Crack Resistance – Less sensitive to weld cracking due to silicon content
- Moderate Strength
- Good Corrosion Resistance – Suitable for normal environments
- Low Shrinkage – Reduces distortion and cracking after cooling
- Bright, Clean Weld Appearance – Produces smooth, shiny welds with little smut
