FAQ

• Q: What is the European name for the common filler ER5356?A: In EN ISO 18273, the equivalent filler is typically designated AlMg5 (Aluminum-Magnesium 5% alloy). ER5183 is often designated AlMg4.5Mn (Aluminum-Magnesium 4.5% Manganese).

• Q: Is EN ISO 18273 mandatory for welding in the EU?A: For structural and pressure equipment covered by European Directives and codes, compliance with harmonized standards (like EN ISO 18273) is often a regulatory requirement for CE marking.

• Q: What is the difference between a 3.1 and 3.2 Certificate?A: A 3.1 certificate is issued by the manufacturer's authorized representative. A 3.2 certificate requires the manufacturer's testing results to be validated and counter-signed by an independent third-party inspection body, offering the highest level of material assurance.
