How to choose it
Check the base-alloy pairing and service temperature rather than selecting only by advertised strength. Use an aluminium-compatible feed system.
Limits and product details
ESAB warns of stress-corrosion risk for 5xxx base alloys when weld-pool magnesium exceeds 3% and service temperature exceeds 65°C. Review the application with the filler supplier.
