WHAT ELSE:
- Contains 5% magnesium
- Excellent corrosion resistance and high strength
APPLICATION INFO:
- Most commonly used general purpose aluminium filler metal
- Suitable for welding magnesium bearing aluminium alloys such as 5083, 5086, 5154,
5251, 5454, 5456, also heat-treatable alloys such as 6063, 6061, 6082, also dissimilar
aluminium grades containing a maximum of 5% Mg - Use with Argon gas
- Suitable for welding components that will be subsequently anodised.
- Pre-heating up to 120c may be necessary in some applications, depending on parent metal thickness.
- Wire brushing between each pass is recommended to ensure removal of surface oxide build up.
