Werkstoff Nr.: 3. 3556
Description and applications*
* Illustrative, not-exhaustive list
Aluminum alloy filler metal for welding Al-Mg or Al-Mg-Zn aluminum alloys, as well as dissimilar aluminum alloys with maximum 5% of magnesium. Used also for welding components that shall be anodized.
Non-heat treatable.
Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, even in seawater, and good mechanical properties, it is the most known Al welding consumable.
Main applications in construction of boats, ships, bicycles, trucks, pressure vessels, storage tanks, railways and in the automotive industry.
Weldabe base materials*
* Illustrative, not-exhaustive list
Series 5xxx aluminum alloys, Al-Mg and Al-Mg-Zn alloys such as Peraluman 3,5 and 5 type or Anticorodal 11.
