Welding 6061 to 5052 Aluminum: Techniques, Compatibility, and Practical Applications
Yes, you can weld 6061 aluminum to 5052 aluminum. Both alloys are weldable with TIG and MIG welding techniques. Use 5356 filler for better strength and to reduce cracking. Be cautious that welding 6061-T6, a heat-treated alloy, may weaken the material due to overaging from heat exposure. When welding these two alloys, it is essential … Read more
