Value Brand WESTWARD 24D960 ER5356 0.035 in 1 lb Mig Welding Wire
Aluminium MIG welding wire, ER5356 classification, 0.035 in diameter on a 1 lb plastic spool
- TypeWelding Supplies
- ER5356 classification ensures reliable aluminium-to-aluminium MIG welds
- 035 in diameter feeds smoothly through standard MIG guns
- 38 ksi tensile strength delivers strong as-welded joints
- 1 lb plastic spool keeps wire tangle-free on the bench
- WESTWARD 24D960 model matches common ER5356 wire specifications
Purpose and User
This welding wire serves fabricators joining aluminium to aluminium using MIG equipment. The ER5356 classification suits general-purpose structural work where moderate strength and good corrosion resistance are required. It is not intended for builders who need a different alloy for higher tensile demands or for welding dissimilar metals.
Build Integration
The 0.035 in diameter feeds through standard MIG guns and drive rolls sized for that wire gauge. A 1 lb plastic spool fits compact wire feeders and keeps the bench clear of bulk reels. Welders who need longer continuous runs or larger-diameter wire will need a different package.
Heat and Power
The wire produces weld metal with a tensile strength of 38 ksi under typical MIG settings. No yield-strength value is specified for this classification. Operators should set voltage and wire-feed speed to match the base material thickness and joint design.

Questions about this item
What is the tensile strength of the ER5356 wire under sustained welding?
The wire delivers 38 ksi tensile strength as welded, matching the AWS ER5356 classification for aluminium-to-aluminium MIG work.
How much heat and spatter does the 0.035 in ER5356 produce during all-day runs?
ER5356 aluminium wire runs cooler than steel grades with low spatter, so the gun and tip stay manageable during extended MIG sessions.
Which MIG gun liner and drive rolls suit the 0.035 in aluminium spool?
Use a plastic or Teflon liner with U-groove drive rolls sized for 0.035 in wire to prevent bird-nesting on the 1 lb plastic spool.
