| Applications: | ||
| Alloy 5356 is the most widely used welding alloy and can be classified as a general puroise type filler alloy. 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 150°F are susceptable to stress corrosion cracking. | ||
