DETAILS
5556A is commonly used for welding high strength base materials like 5083 and provides good strength on 6XXX base materials. The elements are controlled to obtain increased weld strength over the 5356 alloy. It shows high corrosion resistance, making it suitable for marine applications. Good ductility and improved crack resistance
Features
- Provides higher tensile strengths for welding of higher strength 5XXX alloys
- Increased amounts of magnesium and manganese for excellent corrosion resistance
- High columnar strength
- Simple design, no complex external pay-off systems
- Wire travels straight up in one layer with least resistance
- Patented design helps minimize arc-flaring and tip burnback
- Gem-Pak®: fork-lift ready mini-pallet attached to the box - 100% recyclable
