DESCRIPTION:

5356 FW-Alu is specially formulated to be a general-pur-pose, high strength aluminum welding wire for welding selected grades of wrought and extruded aluminum alloys.

PROCEDURE FOR USE:

Caution: Although a 2-roll wire drive assembly will work the optimum for maintaining arc voltage stability and con-sistent and smooth wire feeding is a smooth or “U-groove” 4-roll drive assembly. Serrated drive rolls are not recom-mended!

Step 1: Remove all “old” cracked or spalled weld metal down to a sound base.

Step 2: FW-Aluminum is unlimited build-up.

Step 3: Preheat the part to be hardfaced/joined depending on the wrought alloy type.

Step 4: After checking that the welding conditions are opti-mal by testing on scrap metal, position the gun head at a 70-80° angle and use a “push” technique for downhand welding. For fully automated welding such as hardfacing cement crusher rolls, the wire should exit at about a 10° lagging angle from top dead center. Using this technique will assure a smooth and regular weld deposit profile with the optimum level of fusion.

Note: If welding is interrupted and the part being welded cools to room temperature, make sure to reheat to the origi-nal preheat temperature. For hardenable steels slow cooling is advised using silicone blankets, vermiculite, or other envi-ronmentally suitable heat-retardant material.
