Aluminum Welding Wire ER5087 is about 4.5% Magnesium Aluminum filler metal added micro Zr which acts as grain-refiner, has high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, better bending property and the excellent resistance of hot cracking sensitivity, recommended for welding the wrought Aluminum alloys of 5000 series, 6000 series and 7000 series, such as 5083,6005 A, 6082,7005,7020, etc. Mainly used in ships, offshore facilities, storage tanks, rail transportation, high-speed trains, automobiles and other industries.
ER5087 Magnesium Aluminum Welding Wire is specifically formulated for joining high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloys. The alloying elements are balanced to support consistent arc stability and penetration depth, particularly suitable for marine structures, transportation frameworks, and lightweight industrial components.
The wire is manufactured under strict adherence to AWS A5.10 standards, ensuring dimensional accuracy and chemical consistency. Certified for industrial welding processes, ER5087 enables precise control over bead formation and metallurgical properties, reducing post-weld finishing requirements and maintaining structural integrity.
| Parameter | Value |
| Alloy Type | Aluminum-Magnesium |
| Diameter | 1.2mm, 1.6mm |
| Tensile Strength | 260-300 MPa |
| Elongation | 12-18% |
| Melting Range | 580-640°C |
| Standard | AWS A5.10 ER5087 |
This welding wire is suitable for the following industrial scenarios:
ER5087 is compatible with both MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding processes. For MIG welding, proper shielding gas composition, such as pure argon or argon-helium mixtures, ensures optimal arc stability and penetration.
Yes, ER5087 contains magnesium in controlled concentrations, which enhances corrosion resistance, making it suitable for marine and coastal structures exposed to saltwater environments.
Store the wire in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent surface oxidation. Avoid mechanical deformation during transport, and maintain original spools or packaging until use to ensure welding performance consistency.

The structural welding of 7xxx series aluminum alloys (Al-Zn-Mg-Cu) presents significant challenges, primarily due to their high susceptibility to solidification cracking and the softening of the Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ). ER5087 Magnesium Aluminum Welding Wire is specifically engineered to overcome these hurdles. Hangzhou Kunli Welding Materials Co., Ltd., a high-technology enterprise with over 20 years of expertise, manufactures high-performance ER5087 magnesium aluminum welding wire that utilizes advanced alloying elements to ensure superior joint integrity in high-stress applications.
The fundamental difference between ER5087 and the standard ER5356 is the strategic addition of Zirconium (Zr). This element serves as a powerful grain refiner during the solidification process:
| Characteristic | ER5087 (AlMg5Zr) | ER5356 (AlMg5) |
| Key Alloying Elements | 5% Mg + 0.1-0.2% Zr | 5% Mg |
| Solidification Cracking Risk | Low (Optimized for high-strength alloys) | Moderate (Risk in constrained joints) |
| Microstructure | Fine Equiaxed Grains | Standard Columnar Grains |
| Corrosion Resistance | Excellent (Marine & Chemical) | Excellent |
| Typical Application | 7xxx series, Cryogenic tanks, WAAM | General 5xxx series structural welding |
Utilizing internationally advanced manufacturing facilities, Hangzhou Kunli Welding Materials Co., Ltd. ensures that its ER5087 wire maintains the stable production process required for high-end certifications, including DB, CE, ABS, DNV, and CCS. Through close cooperation with institutions like the Beijing Nonferrous Metals Research Institute, the company has successfully replaced imported products for industry giants such as China CRRC and Maersk. With a monthly capacity of 200 MT, Kunli exports to over 30 countries, providing reliable solutions for the most demanding welding environments.
Hangzhou Kunli Welding Materials Co., Ltd. implements a strict quality control system and utilizes complete testing equipment to monitor the precise Zirconium and Magnesium ratios. This commitment to precision allows their products to reach domestic and international levels, breaking the reliance on imported materials for specialized sectors like aerospace and rail transit.
Yes. Hangzhou Kunli Welding Materials Co., Ltd. has obtained a wide range of internationally recognized certifications, including ABS, DNV, and CCS. This makes their high-performance aluminum alloy welding wire suitable for critical marine structural welding and large-scale shipbuilding projects worldwide.
