ALTIGWELD 5356

A Characteristic of the 5Xxx series of Alloys is their susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking when the Weld Pool chemistry is greater than 3% Mg and there is exposure to Prolonged temperatures in excess of 150° F. Special Alloys and Tempers are often required to overcome this problem. Contact Alcotec for assistance in Alloy and temper selection when elevated temperature service is a concern.
