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.
Features/Benefits:
- 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
Applications
Matched filler alloy for 5454 applications, elevated temperature applications (+150 degrees F), automotive wheels, heat exchangers
