Description
5356 is the most widely used welding alloy and can be classified as a general purpose type filler alloy
5356 is typically chosen because of its relatively high shear strength
The 5XXX alloy base material, welded with 5356, with a weld pool chemistry greater than 3 % Mg and service temperatures in excess of 65°C are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.
The alloy is non-heat treatable.
