Introduction
The manufacture of automotive and industrial heat exchangers requires welding materials with excellent flow characteristics and a controlled, low melting point. Our Aluminum-Silicon wires (primarily 4XXX series) are engineered for these specific thermal applications. The presence of Silicon lowers the liquidus temperature, promoting smooth flow and wetting during high-speed brazing or MIG welding processes, ensuring the production of thin-walled, pressure-tight assemblies critical for efficient thermal transfer systems.
