Maintaining a proper welding procedure - including pre-heat and interpass temperatures - may be
critical depending on the type and thickness of aluminum being welded.


See Above: This information was determined by welding using 100% Argon shielding gas with a flow rate between
35-50 cfh (14-24 l/min).

TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Description
5554 filler metal is the most common aluminum/magnesium alloy for welding 5454 base metal where sustained elevated temperatures above 150 degrees F are experienced.
- Moderate strength (33 ksi typical)
- Most common 5xxx filler alloy for welding 5454 base material in elevated temperature applications
- Higher ductility/formability
- Higher column strength/better feedability
- Good color match after anodizing with 5xxx/6xxx base materials
- Higher hot cracking sensitivity in some applications
Features/Benefits
100% Argon (Ar) or Argon/Helium mixtures, typical: GMAW - 35-50 cfh (14-24 l/min),
GTAW 20-30 cfh (10-14 l/min).



Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) for GMAW, AC for GTAW



0.030” (0.8 mm), 0.035” (0.9 mm), 3/64” (1.2 mm), 1/16” (1.6 mm), 3/32” (2.4 mm),
1/8” (3.2 mm)
