Application
This material can be used to weld base materials types 5454 and 5456. All inert gas processes, electron beam and oxyfuel gas welding process can be used.

  • The proper choice of aluminum filler metal mainly depends on the base metal properties to be achieved andwelding technique. Post weld cracking, corrosion resistance and behavior under elevated temperature also needto be taken into consideration.
  • Cracking usually can be minimized by choosing a filler metal alloy of higher alloy content then the base metal.

Deposited Chemical Composition % (Typical)
Deposited chemistry is influenced by many factors, so no typical analysis can be recorded.
