    The document discusses material selection for welding aluminum alloys. It provides recommendations for welding filler metals based on the desired mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, or weldability. For best mechanical properties such as strength, it recommends filler metals containing 4.5-5% magnesium. For best corrosion resistance, it also recommends these magnesium-containing fillers. For best weldability and to prevent solidification cracks, it suggests filler metals containing silicon. In all cases, the filler metals suggested come from the AlMg or AlSi alloy systems.

    In case that a high yield strength and tensile strength are considered decisive then a filler metal with a Mg content between 4,5% to 5% shall be used. Cr and Zr reduce the susceptibility to solidification cracking by means of corn fining. Zr reduces the risk of hot cracking.

    These fillers oxidise during anodizing or by atmospherical influences and give a dark grey colour, whose intensity increases with increasing Si-content. Such fillers do not give a suitable colour adjustment to base materials from wrought alloys. These alloys are especially used to prevent solidification cracks in combination with high dilution and stiff clamping conditions. Alternative for best mechanical properties: R-4043A R-4047A AlSi5 AlSi12(A)

    General remarks: These alloys are not recommended for welding without filler metals, due to their susceptibility of cold cracking.
