Aluminium Tig Wire 5356

ER5356 TIG filler wire is the industry standard for high-strength aluminum-magnesium welding rods designed for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW / TIG).
Classified under AWS A5.10 as ER5356, this filler metal is alloyed with 5% magnesium, making it the absolute go-to choice for structural, marine, and high-tensile aluminum applications.


Core Product Features
High Structural Strength: Delivers significantly higher shear strength and tensile integrity compared to silicon-based wires like ER4043, making it ideal for structural load-bearing frames.
Premium Marine Corrosion Resistance: The aluminum-magnesium matrix offers elite protection against salt spray, marine environments, and alkaline deterioration.
Excellent Anodizing Color Match: Unlike silicon-alloyed wires which turn dark grey after anodizing, ER5356 provides an excellent, bright color match after post-weld anodizing treatments.
Stiff Feedability: The magnesium content makes the wire physically stiffer than other aluminum grades, ensuring crisp handling and easy manual manipulation into the weld pool.

AWS Classification: AWS A5.10 / ASME SFA A5.10 ER5356 (UNS A95356)
Chemical Profile: Aluminum base alloyed with ~4.5% ÔøΩ 5.5% Magnesium (Mg) / Chromium & Titanium modified
