Werkstoff Nr.: 3.3546
Description and applications*
* Illustrative, not-exhaustive list
Aluminium alloy filler metal for welding aluminium alloys with up to 5% Mg and alloys where a higher tensile strength is required.
The alloying element Zr produces improved resistance to hot cracking during solidification. Zirconium acts as well to produce a fine grained weld-metal microstructure, improving both bending and corrosion resistance.
This alloy allows achieving a superior wire surface finish for improved feedability and arc performances. Suitable especially for complicated welding constructions with critical tensions.
This grade may be used for applications such as:
• marine fabrication and repair;
• cryogenic tanks;
• shipbuilding and other high strength structural aluminium applications;
• railway industry;
• automotive industry;
• offshore industry.

Marking
Each filler rod for GTAW welding is durably marked with an identification traceable to the unique product type. Welding filler materials wound on spools or in coils are durably marked on the coil or spool with an identification traceable to the unique product type.
The outside of each unit package is suitably labelled with at minimum the following data: grade, diameter, heat, lot no., classifications.
CE marking type-testing performed and available.
Customized labels are available upon request.
Lot classification
All our productions fulfil the Class S3 requirements acc. to EN ISO 14344.
