OK Autrod 5356 (formerly OK Autrod 18.15) is the most widely used welding alloy and can be classified as a general-purpose type filler alloy. OK Autrod 5356 is typically chosen because of its relatively high shear strength. The 5XXX alloy base material, welded with OK Autrod 5356, with a weld pool chemistry greater than 3% Mg and service temperatures over 65°C, is susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. The alloy is non-heat treatable.
