Hi there, Good luck finding the grade of alloy.. I think you'd just be guessing..

I've welded ALOT of these and I can say they weld perfectly, not like the magnesium filled sumps you normally find

What rod or wire did you weld them with? That's what I was trying to figure out from the grade. That would be a huge help.

I should be using 5356 as per what kristafa said, but I've always used 4043 because it's there and I dont have to go get it out of my filler wire tubes..

I've welded close to 30, never had one crack or break yet..

Thanks guys appreciate the help
