ER5356
Alloy Type: A5.10, ALUMINUM AND ALUMINUM ALLOY Electrodes and Rods
ER5356 is a general-purpose type aluminum alloy which is typically chosen for its relatively high shear strength. In addition, it also offers excellent corrosion resistance when exposed to salt water. ER5356 should be considered for welding 5000 series aluminum base metals.
Typical Applications: welding filler wire
