ESAB 535636125 TIG ROD, 1/8″ X 36″ ER5356 ALUMINUM 10LB

The ESAB ER5356 1/8″ x 36″ Aluminum TIG Rod is a high-strength, general-purpose aluminum filler metal designed for welding 5XXX and 6XXX series aluminum alloys. With excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine and saltwater environments, this rod is widely used in boat building, structural aluminum welding, and transportation industries. The magnesium content (AlMg5 alloy type) ensures strong, durable welds with superior crack resistance. Meeting AWS A5.10 ER5356 and multiple international standards, this filler metal is a trusted choice for aerospace, automotive, and heavy fabrication applications.

This ER5356 aluminum TIG rod is ideal for welders working on high-strength aluminum applications that require good ductility, excellent corrosion resistance, and a bright weld finish. Its stronger tensile properties make it a preferred choice over ER4045 for structural applications. Whether fabricating aluminum trailers, pressure vessels, or marine structures, this filler metal ensures clean, reliable welds that withstand extreme conditions.

Features:

• High-strength aluminum alloy: Designed for welding 5XXX and 6XXX series aluminum, ensuring durable welds.
• Excellent corrosion resistance: Ideal for marine, saltwater, and harsh outdoor environments.
