Werkstoff Nr.: ~ 3.3548
Description and applications*
* Illustrative, not-exhaustive list
Aluminum alloy filler metal mainly used to weld aluminium magnesium base metal alloys with a maximum of 5.3% Mg. It provides the highest as-welded strengths in fillet welds, offering as well characteristics of corrosion resistance, toughness, workability and weldability. Not recommended for elevated temperature service applications. Non-heat treatable.
This grade may be used for:
– military industry;
– general constructions and structural industry;
– pressure vessels;
– storage tanks.
Weldable base materials*
