5356 Series alloy is susceptible to stress corrosion cracking when the weld pool chemistry is greater than 3% Mg and there is exposure to prolonged temperatures in excess of 150 deg F. Alloy is used as welding filler wire and nail wire. Non-heat treatable alloy has magnesium, titanium, chromium and manganese as principle alloying elements.
