Product Description
Weldcote Metals 5356 aluminum filler metal in 3/64" diameter and 16‑lb packaging is a high‑strength, corrosion‑resistant aluminum welding alloy suitable for both MIG and TIG applications. Classified as ER5356, this filler metal contains 5% magnesium, offering excellent performance for marine, structural, and general aluminum fabrication.
Description
Weldcote 5356 (AlMg5) is one of the most widely used aluminum filler alloys due to its strength, ductility, and superior corrosion resistance—especially in saltwater environments. It is recommended for welding common aluminum alloys such as 5050, 5052, 5083, 5356, 5454, and 5456. With a melting range of 1060–1175°F, this wire provides smooth feeding, stable arc characteristics, and clean weld appearance. The 16‑lb spool is ideal for production shops, marine fabrication, trailer manufacturing, and general aluminum repair.
