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).

CONFORMANCES AND APPROVALS
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.


BENEFITS
• Higher column strength/better feedability
• Good color match after anodizing with 5xxx/6xxxbase materials
• Higher hot cracking sensitivity in some applications
• Moderate/high strength (33 ksi typical)
• Most common 5xxx filler alloy for welding 5454 base material in elevated temperature applications
• Higher ductility/formability
FEATURES
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)


Product should be stored in a dry, enclosed environment, and in its original intact packaging
