Filler Material
(OP)
Is it possible (recommended ?) to weld Aluminum Diecast (A360) & Aluminum Extrusion (6061 T6)? I tried to Google filler recommendation, couldn't find one for this combination.
When tried welding with filler 4043, even tough joint looks good, we noticed severe corrosion & crack overtime.
On the first had I want to see if these 2 alloys are OK to be welded.

How did you qualify (test) the weld procedure and all of its parameters?
You appear to be making an assumption it is filler material, but you may not have examined all of the other causes thoroughly.

Got pictures of the corrosion and the cracking ?

I can see per this chart that 360/A360 aren't even on the weldable base materials. So I suspect that its a incorrect fusion altogether.

I've always said 'plastic is not a real material, and aluminum is not a real metal'. Oh, and anything under ¾" thick is sheet metal.
