5356 is our most popular aluminum MIG wire. It is a great general purpose filler alloy designed for the welding of 5XXX series alloys when 40,000 psi (276 MPa) tensile strength is not required. Features Used mainly for welding aluminum of like composition. This type is also useful if color match is important after anodizing. Used mainly for welding aluminum of like composition. This type is also useful if color match is important after anodizing. Optimized to reduce fumes & shaved for ultimate cleanliness of wire. Superior wire surface finish for the best feedability and arc performance Optimal manufacturing process to precisely control chemical composition State-of-the-art testing equipment to ensure trouble-free performance of the weld wire Manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001 requirements Applications Bicycle frames For welding most 5XXX alloys when 40,000 psi tensile strength is not required Automotive bumpers and supports Structural frames in the shipbuilding industry Formed truck panels
