Description of πŸ”© Yeswelder ER4043 .030-Diameter Silicon Aluminum Welding Wire - 1-Pound Spool

5% silicon aluminum (AlSi5) filler metal welding wire for MIG welding process. The silicon additions result in improved fluidity (wetting action) to make the alloy a preferred choice by welders. Less sensitive to weld cracking and produces brighter. It can be used to weld various grades of aluminum, 3003, 3004, 5052, 6061, 6063, and casing alloys 43, 355, 356, and 214.

I ran out of Lincoln Super Glide wire and juxtaposed this reel without adjusting any settings and it's terrible. Immediate difference in weld quality. Somehow it creates more spatter than other wires and as mentioned before it has pits in it. I tried turning on the argon and cleaning the…
