ER5356 Aluminum MIG Welding Wire

ER5356 Aluminum MIG Spool

ER5356 has increased levels of Mg, Ti and Mn along with the addition of chrome and a slight reduction in silicon. These changes work together to increase its corrosion resistance, making it the best aluminum for use in or near saltwater. ER5356 is commonly used on 5050, 5052, 5083, 5356, 5454 and 5456 and is the second most widely used aluminum filler metal. ER5356 has a melting range of 1060-1175F, a density of 0.96 lbs/ci and a typical tensile strength of 38,000 psi. Its post anodizing color is white.

ER5356 conforms to: AWS A5.10, CWB

Features:

• High quality, made in Canada
• Primarily alloyed with magnesium and silicon
• Feeds better than 4043
• Popular for welding heat-treatable alloys 5052, 5083, and 5454
• High strength
• Great choice for aluminum casting and dissimilar metals
• Stellar corrosion resistance
• Especially valuable in salty marine or aerospace environments
• Feeds smoother through a wire feeder than 4043
• Low melting point reduces risk of burn through or warping
