Precision layer wound Al/5%Mg wire suitable for welding wrought or cast aluminium alloys containing magnesium as the major alloying element. The Austmig 5356 is the most widely used welding alloy filler metal, due to its excellent corrosion resistance and high shear strength.
Typical Applications
Suitable for welding selected grades of wrought Al/Mg alloys including 5083, 5086, 5454 and 5456.
