Features and Applications
Aluminium wire used to weld aluminium magnesium base materials with a maximum of 5.3% Mg.
Provides the highest as-welded strengths in fillet welds, offering characteristics of corrosion resistance, toughness, workability and weldability.
Not recommended for elevated temperature applications.
Typically used on general construction, military, pressure vessels and storage tanks etc.
