5356 Aluminum TIG (GTAW)

TIG (GTAW)

5356 aluminum alloy TIG (GTAW) for welding 5XXX series alloys

DETAILS

5356 aluminum TIG (GTAW) welding alloy is an all-position, non-heat treatable alloy used to weld the 5XXX series alloys when 40,000 psi tensile strength is not a requirement. Alloy 5356 is a very good all-purpose alloy. It is the most widely used of all aluminum/silicon filler metals. Common applications are welding of boats/ships, bicycles, trucks, pressure vessels and automotive parts.

Features

  • Designed for welding non-heat treatable base alloys, specifically 5XXX series alloys
  • Welds 5XXX series alloys when 40,000 psi tensile strength is not required
  • Very good general-purpose welding wire
  • Most widely used aluminum welding alloy
  • Common applications are welding of boats/ships, bicycles, trucks, pressure vessels and automotive parts
  • Tensile strength of 39,000 psi
  • White color (post anodized)
  • All position welding, except vertical down
  • Marked with model number on each end for easy identification after use

Typical Applications

  • Welding boats/ships, bicycles, trucks, pressure vessels and automotive parts

Welding Positions

  • All, except vertical down
