Metal "codes"
Chaps,
Apparently I can use my ESAB C150 for welding ally.
In the back of the instruction manual there are some wire specs eg Fe which I gather is steel/ SS - Stainless and the one I cant get is AlMg5
Any clues please.
Thanks
Simon

Found this...
Technical Data Sheet Alloy Al Mg 5
Don't know what it all means though... 
shimming solid lifters is a job for a friend...

I believe this was used to weld-up our exhaust manifold block spur which was cracked/split. Due to the Magnesium (5%) It is slightly harder than
standard aluminium but retains the fluidity of aluminium.
