C355 (4009) Aluminum

Item#: 3H1EBH

C355 aluminum welding wire, as well as the variant 4009, is a versatile welding material primarily used for joining aluminum and aluminum alloys. It typically consists of approximately 90% aluminum (Al), 4% silicon (Si), 1% manganese (Mn), 1% copper (Cu), and trace amounts of other elements such as zinc (Zn) and titanium (Ti). This specific chemistry is carefully formulated to provide the wire with excellent weldability and mechanical properties making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from automotive components to aerospace structures.

The silicon content enhances the fluidity of the molten metal during welding, promoting a smoother and more stable weld bead. The manganese and copper additives contribute to the wire's strength and enables the weld to respond to heat-treating.

    Safety

    HQA Wire Products strongly recommends exercising safe welding practices to protect yourself and others. Electric shock can be dangerous and can kill. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Arc rays can injure eyes and burn skin.

    Safe Welding Practice include but are not limited to:

    • Do not permit electrically live parts or electrodes to contact skin.
    • Do not allow contact with clothing or gloves if they are wet.
    • Insulate yourself from work and ground.
    • Keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general area.
    • Keep your head out of fumes.
    • Use enough ventilation for exhaust and arc or both.
    • Wear adequate eye, ear, and bodily protection.
