Product identity
This Alcotec ER5356 aluminium MIG wire carries AWS classification ER5356 and is supplied on a one-pound plastic spool. The wire diameter is 0.047 inches and the alloy designation is 5356.
Suitability
The wire is formulated for joining aluminium to aluminium in flat, horizontal, overhead and vertical-up positions using DCEP current. Welders who require a different alloy, a larger diameter or a heavier spool should select another product.
Deciding specification
As-welded tensile strength is 46 ksi and yield strength is 30 ksi with 100 percent argon shielding gas. These mechanical values determine whether the wire meets the structural requirements of the intended application.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box and what else do I need to buy?
The package contains a 1 lb plastic spool of ER5356 aluminium MIG wire at 0.047 in diameter. You must supply a MIG welder capable of DCEP output, 100 percent argon shielding gas and a suitable aluminium wire feeder.
How do I choose between the available versions of this wire?
This listing is the single 1 lb spool of 3/64 in (0.047 in) ER5356 alloy. Other diameters or spool weights are separate items; select the diameter that matches your welder’s drive rolls and the spool size that fits your machine’s spindle.
What does the 46 ksi tensile strength mean when I am welding?
A welded joint made with this wire and 100 percent argon will reach 46 ksi tensile strength as-welded, with a minimum yield of 19 ksi and typical yield of 30 ksi, suitable for 5356-grade aluminium in flat, horizontal, vertical-up and overhead positions.
