ER5356 is a stiffer wire and is used when higher strength weld properties are needed. Use a stainless steel wire brush to clean the aluminium before welding, this will help to remove the oxide layer.

Alloy 5356 is the most widely used aluminium filler alloy and can be classified as a general purpose, non-heat treatable alloy. It is typically chosen because of its relatively high shear strength,

mostly due to magnesium, which is the primary alloying element.

5% Magnesium, has a high shear strength, corrosion & crack resistance.
