The ESAB ER5356 3/32″ x 36″ Aluminum TIG Rod is a high-strength aluminum filler metal designed for welding 5XXX and 6XXX series aluminum alloys. With excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and saltwater environments, this rod is widely used in boat building, transportation, and structural aluminum fabrication. Its magnesium-enriched composition (AlMg5 alloy type) ensures strong, ductile welds with superior crack resistance. Packaged in a 10 lb bundle, this rod is a go-to choice for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications requiring durability and a clean weld finish.
This ER5356 aluminum TIG rod is preferred by welders handling structural aluminum projects that demand high tensile strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and smooth, bright welds. Its higher magnesium content provides greater toughness and strength compared to ER4045, making it ideal for welding aluminum trailers, pressure vessels, and offshore structures.
Features:
- High-strength aluminum alloy: Suitable for welding 5XXX and 6XXX series aluminum, ensuring durable, long-lasting welds.
- Superior corrosion resistance: Performs exceptionally well in marine, saltwater, and outdoor environments.
- Crack-resistant and ductile: Reduces the risk of weld failures in high-stress applications.
- Bright, clean weld finish: Produces aesthetic, smooth welds with minimal post-weld cleanup.
- Compatible with multiple shielding gases: Works with I1 and I3 shielding gases per EN ISO 14175 for optimal arc stability.
- Packaged in a 10 lb bundle: Ensures efficient use and minimal contamination in professional welding settings.
