Introduction
Offshore structures, deck equipment, and specialized marine vessels face extreme corrosive conditions. Our filler metals are specifically focused on high-magnesium content (e.g., ER5183, ER5087) to provide the highest level of resistance to saltwater and atmospheric corrosion available in aluminum consumables. Beyond corrosion, the wires deliver high-strength weldments essential for maintaining stability and load-bearing capacity in dynamic sea states, often required by leading classification societies for critical marine use.
Specification
| Classification (AWS) | ER5087 / ER5183 |
| Certification | ABS, DNV GL (specifically for offshore/marine use) |
| Base Metal Compatibility | 5083-H116, 5456, 5086 (Marine Grade Alloys) |
| Magnesium Content | Tightly controlled (e.g., 4.5% to 5.2% Mg) |
| Weld Porosity | Minimal, controlled to meet NDT requirements |
Applications
Welding aluminum components on FPSOs (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading units).
Fabrication of aluminum pipework and gangways on offshore platforms.
Repair of high-speed ferry and catamaran hulls exposed to continuous sea spray.
Joining components in desalination plants and near-shore installations.
Payment and Shipping
Export Readiness: Expertise in handling export documentation required for marine and specialized international projects.
Packaging Integrity: Enhanced moisture barrier packaging is utilized to prevent any atmospheric degradation before use in humid shipyard environments.
Certificates: Full compliance certification issued for every marine-grade shipment.
