Bridge & Structure Aluminum Welding

Advantages

• Superior Fatigue Performance: Weldments are proven to resist fatigue cracking under the high cyclic stresses common in structural infrastructure.

• High Load-Bearing Capacity: Provides joint strength that effectively transfers large structural loads and moments across the weld interface.

• Weather Resistance: Excellent corrosion performance, minimizing degradation from atmospheric exposure and simplifying protective coating requirements.

• NDT Compatibility: Consistently clean wire ensures low defect rates, facilitating easy qualification through non-destructive examination (NDT).

FAQ

• Q: Why is aluminum used for bridge construction and what filler metal is typically required?
• A: Aluminum is chosen for its light weight, which reduces dead load, and its corrosion resistance. The high-strength alloys like 5083 and 6061 typically require ER5183 or ER5356 filler metals for optimal strength retention.

• Q: Do these wires comply with European structural steel and aluminum welding standards?
• A: Yes, our structural welding wires are produced under systems that align with European standards and often carry certifications like CE and DB, confirming their suitability for structural applications.
