Aluminium MIG welding wire on a 16 lb steel spool, ER5356 alloy, .035 in diameter for flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical-up positions

  • TypeWelding Supplies
  • ER5356 alloy matches 5356 grade aluminium for strong joints
  • 46 ksi tensile strength delivers reliable weld performance
  • 30 ksi yield strength with 100 percent argon shielding gas
  • 19 ksi minimum required yield ensures code compliance
  • .035 inch diameter suits versatile MIG welding positions

ER5356 Aluminium MIG Wire

This 16 lb spool of ALCOTEC ER5356 wire is designed for MIG welding aluminium to aluminium using 100 percent argon shielding gas. The 0.035 in diameter suits DCEP current in flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical-up positions.

Steel Spool Handling

The wire comes on a steel spool that feeds through standard MIG drive rolls; match the groove size to 0.035 in to prevent bird-nesting. Clean the base metal thoroughly because aluminium oxide causes porosity and lack of fusion.

Pre-Order Checks

Verify your machine supports DCEP output and can supply 100 percent argon flow at the required rate. Confirm the gun liner and contact tip are rated for aluminium wire of this diameter before starting.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the weld quality matches the 46 ksi tensile strength after installation?

Perform a visual and destructive test on a sample joint; the as-welded tensile strength should reach 46 ksi and yield strength 30 ksi with 100 percent argon shielding.

What comes with the 16 lb steel spool and what must I supply separately?

The package includes the ER5356 aluminium wire on a steel spool; you must provide a MIG gun, 100 percent argon gas, DCEP power source and suitable drive rolls for 0.035 in wire.

When should I choose the ER5356 0.035 in 16 lb spool over other diameters or alloys?

Select this spool when welding 5356-grade aluminium in flat, horizontal, vertical-up or overhead positions with a DCEP machine that feeds 0.035 in wire and requires 46 ksi tensile performance.
