Improved 8000-series aluminum alloys exhibiting improved creep resistance and stress relaxation resistance are disclosed and are useful to form wires. The improved 8000-series aluminum alloys include a rare earth element. The electrical conductivity of the aluminum alloy is substantially unaffected by the addition of the rare earth element.

Wires formed from improved 8000-series aluminum alloy

Aluminum welding alloys with improved welding performance are disclosed. The aluminum welding alloys include high loading levels of magnesium and one or more surface active elements and arc stabilizer elements. Methods of making and using the aluminum welding alloys are further disclosed.

Aluminum welding alloys with improved performance

Aluminum-magnesium alloys useful as welding wire and mechanical support are disclosed. The aluminum-magnesium alloys exhibit improved cold wire drawing performance. Grain refiners and methods of forming the aluminum-magnesium alloys are further disclosed.

Welding wires formed from improved aluminum-magnesium alloys

The disclosed technology generally relates to consumable electrode wires and more particularly to consumable electrode wires having a core-shell structure, where the core comprises aluminum. In one aspect, a welding wire comprises a sheath having a steel composition and a core surrounded by the sheath. The core comprises aluminum (Al) at a concentration between about 3 weight % and about 20 weight % on the basis of the total weight of the welding wire, where Al is in an elemental form or is alloyed with a different metal element. The disclosed technology also relates to welding methods and systems adapted for using the aluminum-comprising electrode wires.
