Harris® 5356 Aluminum Magnesium 0.035 inch alloy is very commonly used for higher strength welding of 5XXX and 6XXX base materials. Its higher columnar strength offers improved feeding.
Features
- Designed for welding non-heat treatable base alloys, specifically 5XXX series alloys
- Welds 5XXX series alloys when 40,000 psi tensile strength is not required
- Very good general purpose welding wire
- Most widely used aluminum welding alloy
- Common applications are welding of boats/ships, bicycles, trucks, pressure vessels and automotive parts
- Tensile strength of 39,000 psi
- White color (post anodized)
- All position welding, except vertical down
