This invention relates to the field of
welding materials technology, and particularly to a high-performance aluminum-
lithium alloy flux-cored
welding wire and its preparation method. The high-performance aluminum-
lithium alloy flux-cored
welding wire comprises: an aluminum-based
metal strip outer sheath; and flux
powder filled within the outer sheath. The flux
powder includes deoxidizing components,
alloy components, arc-stabilizing components,
slag-forming components, and binding components. The alloy components of the aluminum-
lithium alloy flux-cored welding wire, by
mass percentage, include: Cu: 3.7%-4.3%, Li: 0.8%-1.5%, Mg: 0.25%-1%, Zr: 0.1%-0.16%, with the balance being Al and unavoidable impurities. The burn-
off rate of active elements is significantly reduced, and the composition control accuracy reaches ±0.05%. The flux structure encapsulates highly active elements such as Li, Mg, and Zr in
powder form within the aluminum-based outer sheath, avoiding high-temperature volatilization and oxidation in traditional
smelting processes. These elements are released only during welding, achieving precise composition control and enabling the stable preparation of aluminum-lithium alloy welding wires with high Li content (2%-3%).
