DETAILS
5183 is commonly used for higher strength welding of 5XXX and 6XXX base materials. It’s has higher columnar strength and uses less amperage for the same WFS as 4XXX filler metals.
Features
- Designed for applications where higher strength is required
- Provides very high as-welded strength for high magnesium alloys such as 5083
- Excellent corrosion resistance ideal for shipbuilding and marine applications
- Alloy embossed on each rod for easy identification
