Features and applications:
4000 series aluminum alloy (Al-Si series) typical representative for 4043, 4343 aluminum alloy, specifically for welding materials. 4043 aluminum alloy has the characteristics of low melting point, good fluidity, good corrosion resistance and so on, which is very beneficial to avoid welding cracks. The Si content of 4343 aluminum alloy is higher than that of 4043 aluminum alloy. It has the characteristics of low melting point, narrow solidification range and good fluidity, which is conducive to the reduction of cracks of the reinforcing step when the weld is solidified. It is used as a composite brazing plate coating.

Description
4043 aluminium has the characteristics of low melting point, good fluidity, and good corrosion resistance, which is very beneficial to avoid welding cracks and is specially used as welding material. 4000 series alloys (Al-Si series) are typically 4043 and 4343 alloys, which are specially used as welding materials.
4043 aluminum alloy has the characteristics of low melting point, good fluidity, and good corrosion resistance, which is very beneficial to avoid welding cracks. 4343 aluminum alloy has a higher Si content than 4043 aluminum alloy. It has the characteristics of low melting point, narrow solidification range, and good fluidity. It is beneficial to the shrinkage of the welding seam during solidification to reduce cracks. It is used as a composite brazing plate coating layer. .

4032 aluminum is a 4000-series aluminum alloy. The main alloying addition is silicon. Cited properties are appropriate for the T6 temper. To achieve this temper, the metal is solution heat-treated and artificially aged until it meets standard mechanical property requirements. 4032 is the Aluminum Association (AA) designation for this material. In European standards, it will be given as EN AW-4032. Additionally, the EN chemical designation is AlSi12,5MgCuNi. The British Standard (BS) designation is DTD324B. The AFNOR (French) designation is A-S12UGN. And the UNS number is A94032.
It originally received its standard designation in 1954.
It has the highest tensile strength among the 4000-series alloys in the database.
The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare 4032 aluminum to: 4000-series alloys (top), all aluminum alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it’s 50% of the highest, and so on.
