Aluminum is one of the most important industrial metals in the world. Found within the earth’s crust, aluminum is used daily by businesses in a wide array of fields, including but not limited the aerospace, construction and automotive industries.
If your business has a need for a reliable filler alloy, you should strongly consider aluminum 4047. Here’s why.
Aluminum 4047 Has a High Silicon Content
Aluminum 4047 is made from a bevy of materials, including silicon. In fact, a little more than 10% (11-13%) of aluminum 4047 is comprised of silicon, which is a good thing. The reason being is silicon prevents it from shrinking under harsh conditions. This is why many industrial businesses prefer it over another popular filler, aluminum 4043, since 4043 contains about half as much silicone. The presence of extra silicone also makes things easier when welding, further separating it from other fillers. In fact, it helps prevent leaking from occurring during the welding process, leaving a beautiful, smooth finish behind.
Other Aluminum 4047 Benefits
Aluminum 4047 provides many other advantages over other filler options, including:
- It’s corrosion resistant.
- It’s great at bonding metals together.
- It’s lightweight.
- It’s sturdy and durable.
- It helps conduct thermal and electric energy.
- It functions well in harsh, high temperature environments.
- Since it can withstand high temperatures, it decreases the likelihood of cracking from occurring.
