SAl 5356 is a premium-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy wire containing approximately 5% magnesium. Classified under AWS A5.10 ER5356 / R5356 and EN ISO 18273 S Al 5356, it is designed for MIG and TIG welding of 5XXX series aluminum alloys.
This general-purpose filler metal provides high tensile strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and stable arc performance, making it ideal for structural and fabrication work across marine, transport, industrial, and defense sectors.
Key Features
High tensile strength with good malleability
Excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments
Stable arc characteristics and smooth wire feeding
Low spatter with bright, clean bead appearance
Suitable for single-pass and multi-pass applications

Proper Storage:
To maintain wire quality, store in a dry, well-ventilated area (10–40°C, max 60% humidity). Keep wire on pallets or racks, never directly on the floor or near walls. Do not remove anti-oxidation packaging until use. Once opened, use promptly to avoid moisture exposure. Follow First-In-First-Out (FIFO) handling.
