Product identity
Alcotec ER5356 aluminum MIG wire on a 20 lb plastic spool with a 0.063 in diameter. It carries AWS classification ER5356 and is formulated for aluminum-to-aluminum welding using the GMAW process with DCEP current.
Who it suits and who it does not
Suitable for fabricators working with 5356 grade aluminum in flat, horizontal, overhead or vertical-up positions. Not for jobs requiring a different alloy designation, a different wire diameter, or a spool weight other than 20 lb.
Deciding specification
The wire delivers 46 ksi tensile strength and 30 ksi yield strength as welded with 100 percent argon shielding, meeting the minimum 19 ksi yield requirement for ER5356 classification.

Questions about this item
What diameter MIG gun liner and contact tip does the 0.063 in wire require?
Use a liner and contact tip sized for 1/16 in (0.063 in) aluminium wire to prevent feeding issues.
Which polarity and shielding gas does the ER5356 spool need for MIG welding?
Set the machine to DCEP polarity and use 100 percent argon shielding gas as specified for this alloy.
How often should the plastic spool be inspected or replaced during extended use?
Check the 20 lb plastic spool for cracks or deformation each time you change wire; replace it if the flanges are damaged.
