Which filler metal should you choose?
- By Kevin Trick
- Mar 8, 2017
- Consumables
- Article
6XXX series is a common base material used in aluminum applications and, generally speaking, its best filler metal match is either the 4XXX or 5XXX series. The filler metal you choose depends on how the finished weld will be used. Will it be exposed to sustained elevated temperatures? Are strength, ductility, and toughness key requirements? Determine which properties are most important for the completed weld and select the filler metal according to those priorities.

Advanced GMAW processes help in welding P91
- By Dan Hernandez and David Benson
- May 26, 2016
- Tube and Pipe Fabrication
- Article
Alloy P91 has excellent high-temperature strength and creep resistance, making it a favored alloy for piping systems for power boilers and other applications that work at elevated temperatures and pressures. The conventional welding processes, gas tungsten arc welding and shielded metal arc welding, do a good job on P91, but modified gas metal arc welding (GMAW) processes and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) have deposition rates three to four times faster.
