Item Details:
5356 aluminum MIG welding alloy is an all-position, non-heat treatable MIG wire used to weld the 5XXX series alloys when 40,000 psi tensile strength is not a requirement. Alloy 5356 is a very good all-purpose wire. It is the most widely used of all aluminum filler metals. Common applications are welding of boats/ships, bicycles, trucks, pressure vessels and automotive parts.
Features
- 5356 aluminum/silicon GMAW (MIG) welding alloy
- Designed for welding heat treatable base alloys, specifically 6XXX series alloys
- Lower melting point and more fluidity than 5XXX series filler alloys
- Low sensitivity to weld cracking with 6XXX series base alloys
- Suitable for sustained elevated temperature service, i.e. above 150°F (65°C)
- All position, except vertical down welding
- Gray (post anodized) color
