DETAILS
5183 is designed to weld high magnesium alloys to meet higher tensile strength requirements. Use on 5083 and 5654 base materials when required tensile strengths are 40,000 psi (276 MPa) or greater. Typical applications are in the marine and cryogenic industries, and high strength structural aluminium fabrication
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
