DETAILS
Aluminum Magnesium alloy commonly used for higher strength welding of 5XXX and 6XXX base materials. Higher columnar strength and uses less amperage for the same WFS as 4XXX filler metals.
Features
- Designed for heavy duty applications
- Reduced shavings and improved feedability
- General purpose filler alloy for welding 5XXX series alloys
Welding Positions
- All
Shielding Gas
- 100% Argon Argon / Helium Mixtures Flow Rate: 30 - 50 CFH for Argon
