Aluminum Welding Alloy 5356

Aluminium Alloy 5356 contains 5% magnesium.  Alloy 5356 is one of the most widely used welding alloys and is commonly referred to as a general purpose type filler alloy.  Alloy 5356 is typically chosen for its excellent corrosion resistance and high shear strength. 

Aluminium MIG and TIG Welding wire and Rods

Used on	Alloy 5356 is suitable for welding magnesium bearing aluminium alloys such as 5251 (N4), 5154 (N5), 5454 (N51) and also heat treatable alloys 6063 (H9), 6061 (H20) and 6082 (H30)

Weld Properties	Melting range 575 - 633 °C,  Density 2.64gm/cc ALLOY 5356 is an Al-Mg-Mn (Cr Ti) heat treatable alloy used for welding alloys of similar composition. 5356 is increasingly used in preference to type 5056, since it contains Ti for grain refining. (Note: 5056 tends only to be available for rivet stock).
