    Notes:
  1. The filler alloy shown is the best choice for most structural applications. Where two filler alloys are shown, either are acceptable.
  2. Whenever 4043 filler alloy is shown, 4047 is an acceptable atternate.
  3. Whenever 5356 filler alloy is shown, 5556 or 5183 is an acceptable atternate.
  4. Al - Mg alloys containing more than 3% Mg should not be used in applications where long term exposures above 150°F (6.5°C) are encountered.
  5. There are applications where specific requrements make the selection of filler alloys other than those shown above necessary.
