OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Silicon Bronze MIG Wire

The Lincoln Electric ED036805 is a premium Silicon Bronze (ERCuSi-A) MIG welding wire designed for specialized industrial applications. Engineered with a precise copper-silicon formulation, this wire serves as a versatile consumable for joining copper, copper-silicon, and copper-zinc base metals to themselves and to steel. It is widely utilized in the HVAC, automotive, and manufacturing sectors for its reliability and consistent mechanical properties.

One of the primary industrial advantages of this wire is its capability for MIG brazing. Unlike traditional fusion welding, MIG brazing with silicon bronze puts less heat into the base metal, significantly reducing distortion and warping on thin-gauge sheets. This characteristic is particularly critical in the automotive repair industry when working with high-strength steels or galvanized panels, as the lower melting point of the bronze filler preserves the integrity of the zinc coating adjacent to the weld, maintaining corrosion resistance.

This 33lb spool is designed for high-volume production environments, fitting standard industrial wire feeders. The wire features a clean surface finish to ensure smooth feeding and minimal liner wear, reducing downtime for maintenance. It operates best with 100% Argon shielding gas, producing a stable arc with minimal spatter. Whether used for surfacing areas subject to corrosion or joining dissimilar metals in complex assemblies, the Lincoln Silicon Bronze wire delivers high-quality, defect-free deposits that meet rigorous AWS A5.7 specifications.

FAQ

For the best results, use 100% Argon gas. This ensures a stable arc and a clean weld deposit. Helium mixtures can be used for thicker sections to increase heat input.

This wire meets the AWS A5.7 specification for classification ERCuSi-A.

Yes, it is commonly used for 'MIG brazing' steel, especially galvanized steel or thin sheets, as it uses lower heat and reduces warping. It does not create a fusion weld with the steel but rather a strong braze joint.

Silicon Bronze MIG wire should be welded using Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.

While standard V-groove rolls can work with light tension, U-groove drive rolls are recommended for softer wires like bronze to prevent deformation and feeding issues.

Yes, Silicon Bronze is excellent for joining dissimilar metals, such as copper to steel or cast iron to steel, due to its ductility and lower melting point.

This specific product is .035 inches (0.9 mm) in diameter.
