AWS ER5356: MIG Wire & TIG Rods
Product data sheet / Overview: ER5356 MIG Wire & TIG Rods
ER5356 is a widely used aluminum welding alloy, designed for both MIG (GMAW) and TIG (GTAW) welding processes. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and good ductility. ER5356 is particularly suitable for welding 5xxx series aluminum alloys, and it provides a smooth, clean weld bead with minimal spatter. It is commonly used in applications requiring structural integrity and resistance to harsh environments.
