WELDABILITY
Aluminium (Al) Balance
When welding 1050 to itself or an alloy from the same
subgroup the recommended filler wire is 1100. For
ALLOY DESIGNATIONS welding to alloys 5083 and 5086 or alloys from the
7XXX series, the recommend wire is 5356. For other
Aluminium alloy 1050 also corresponds to the following alloys use 4043 filler wire.
