5356 Aluminum GTAW (TIG) Welding Alloy

5356 aluminum GTAW (TIG) 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. Conveniently packaged for point-of-purchase display.
