Notes:
- The filler alloy shown is the best choice for most structural applications. Where two filler alloys are shown, either are acceptable.
- Whenever 4043 filler alloy is shown, 4047 is an acceptable atternate.
- Whenever 5356 filler alloy is shown, 5556 or 5183 is an acceptable atternate.
- 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.
- There are applications where specific requrements make the selection of filler alloys other than those shown above necessary.
