DETAILS
5356 is an all-position 5% silicon alloy used to weld non-heat treatable base alloys. It is most often used to weld the 5XXX series of alloys when 40,000 psi tensile strength is not a requirement. The silicon addition improves puddle fluidity, producing an appealing bead profile. 5356 is a very good all purpose wire, so it is the most widely used of all aluminum fillers metals. 5356 is available for both GMAW (MIG) and GTAW (TIG) welding processes.
