Features

• Non-Heat treatable
• Principle alloying elements: Magnesium, manganese, chromium, titanium
• ISO designation: AlMg5Cr(A)
• Moderate high strength capabilities
• A characteristic of the 5356 series of alloys is their susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking when the weld pool chemistry is greater than 3% Mg and there is exposure to prolonged temperatures in excess of 150° F
• Special alloys and tempers are often required to overcome this problem
