1100 is highly resistant to chemical corrosion and has good crack resistance. Suitable for electrical and chemical applications 

utilizing aluminum base metal with little or no alloying elements. Like all 1XXX filler alloys, Lincoln’s

1100 is the softest 

aluminum MIG wire and requires extra care to ensure good feeding.

4043 is a great choice for the welding of heat-treatable base alloys and more specifically the 6XXX series alloys. It has a lower 

melting point and more fluidity than the 5XXX series filler alloys and is preferred by welders because of its favorable operating characteristics.
ER4043 type wires are also less sensitive to weld cracking with the 6XXX series base alloys. Super Glaze

®

4043 is suitable for sustained 

elevated temperature service, i.e. above 150°F (65°C).

A lower melting point and higher fluidity are two advantages Super Glaze

®

4047 has over its cousin Super Glaze

®

4043.  Super Glaze

®

4047 

produces very clean weld deposits and possesses excellent operator appeal. It can be used as a substitute for an ER4043 type wire to increase
silicon in the weld metal, minimize hot cracking, and produce higher fillet weld shear strength. Super Glaze

®

4047 is suitable for sustained 

elevated temperature service, i.e. above 150°F (65°C).  

Super Glaze

5183 is designed to weld high magnesium alloys to meet higher tensile strength requirements. Use on 5083 and 5654 base 

materials when required tensile strengths are 40,000 psi (276 MPa) or greater. Typical applications are in the marine and cryogenic industries,
and high strength structural aluminum fabrication. 

Super Glaze

®

5356 is our most popular aluminum MIG wire. It is a great general purpose filler alloy designed for the welding of 5XXX series 

alloys when 40,000 psi (276 MPa) tensile strength is not required. 5356 is often chosen for its high shear strength.  

Super Glaze

®

5554 is intended as a matching filer alloy when welding 5454 base alloys. This alloy is a lower magnesium content alloy and is 

often used for automotive wheels, over-the-road trailers, and rail tank cars where the weld filler metal chemistry must closely match the base
material chemistry to maximize corrosion performance.  

Super Glaze

®

5556 weld deposits will provide matching tensile strengths for the 5XXX alloys, such as 5083 and 5654. Contains increased 

amounts of magnesium or manganese compared to Super Glaze

®

5356.

Arc Welding is safe when sufficient measures are taken to protect the welder from potential hazards.  Recognize and safeguard yourself against these hazards, such as electric shock, overexposure to arc 
radiation, fumes and gases.  Every welder should be familiar with the ANSI Z49.1 documents, “Safety in Welding and Cutting”, available from the American Welding Society, Miami, Florida.  Also request 
bulletins E205 “Arc Welding Safety” and E201 “Arc Welding Safety Chart”, available from The Lincoln Electric Company
