ESAB 535601047 WIRE, 3/64″ ER5356 ALUMINUM 1LB

The ESAB ER5356 3/64″ (0.047″) Aluminum MIG Wire is a high-strength aluminum filler metal designed for MIG welding (GMAW) of 5XXX and 6XXX series aluminum alloys. Known for its superior corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and saltwater environments, this wire is widely used in boat building, aerospace, automotive, and structural aluminum fabrication. The AlMg5 composition (magnesium, manganese, chromium, and titanium) ensures strong, ductile welds with excellent crack resistance, making it an ideal choice for industrial and precision welding applications.

Packaged in a 1 lb plastic spool with a 4″ diameter, this ER5356 MIG wire provides smooth wire feeding for small-scale aluminum welding projects, repairs, and precision fabrication. It is optimized for flat, horizontal, overhead, and vertical-up welding positions and is designed for use with 100% Argon shielding gas, ensuring clean, high-quality welds with minimal porosity.

Features:

• High-strength aluminum alloy: Designed for MIG welding 5XXX and 6XXX series aluminum, ensuring strong and durable welds.
• Superior corrosion resistance: Performs exceptionally well in marine, saltwater, and outdoor environments.
