ESAB 535601030 WIRE, .030″ ER5356 ALUMINUM 1LB

The ESAB AlcoTec ALMIGWeld® ER5356 0.030″ Aluminum MIG Wire is a high-strength aluminum filler metal designed for MIG welding 5XXX and 6XXX series aluminum alloys. This non-heat-treatable wire is made with magnesium, manganese, chromium, and titanium, providing superior corrosion resistance, particularly in marine, aerospace, and structural aluminum applications. With optimized feeding characteristics and precision diameter control (to 1/10 of AWS A5.10 specifications), this wire ensures smooth, consistent welding performance.

Packaged in a 1 lb spool with a 4″ diameter, this ER5356 MIG wire is perfect for small-scale aluminum welding projects, repairs, and low-volume production applications. While it provides excellent strength and corrosion resistance, welders should be aware that prolonged exposure to temperatures above 150°F or weld pool chemistry exceeding 3% magnesium may increase the risk of stress corrosion cracking.

Features:

• High-strength aluminum alloy: Designed for MIG welding 5XXX and 6XXX series aluminum, ensuring durable and reliable welds.
• Superior corrosion resistance: Ideal for marine, aerospace, and outdoor applications, preventing oxidation and weakening.
• Non-heat-treatable: Maintains mechanical properties without requiring additional heat treatment.
• Optimized feedability: A patented process improves wire feeding for smooth, consistent welding.
• Precise diameter control: Wire diameter is controlled to 1/10 of AWS A5.10 specifications, ensuring high-quality welds.
• Traceability from mine to spool: Ensures quality control and material consistency.
• 1 lb spool with 4″ diameter: Perfect for small jobs, precision welding, and aluminum repair work.
