Applications
Suitable for welding aluminum-magnesium, aluminum-magnesium-zinc, aluminum-magnesium-manganese, and aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloys.
Typical applications include automotive components, shipbuilding, locomotives and rolling stock, chemical-industry pressure vessels, and general manufacturing.
Material Characteristics
ER5356 is an aluminum-magnesium filler classification with a specified magnesium range of 4.50%–5.50%. It can be considered for welding or surfacing compatible cast and wrought aluminum-magnesium alloys, with attention to corrosion resistance and color matching after anodizing.

Reference Welding Currents
These ranges are process-selection references for ER5356-class fillers. TIG uses filler rods; MIG uses spooled wire. Please confirm available forms and sizes. The product pictured is 1.0 mm spooled wire.
| Process | Diameter (mm) | Current (A) |
|---|---|---|
| MIG | 0.8–1.2 | 50–190 |
| MIG | 1.2–2.0 | 130–290 |
| TIG | 1.6–2.0 | 50–180 |
| TIG | 2.0–3.0 | 80–200 |
| TIG | 3.0–4.0 | 140–240 |
| TIG | 4.0–5.0 | 220–320 |
Shielding gas: 100% Ar. Adjust welding current to the base-metal thickness, joint design, equipment and qualified welding procedure. Classification standards are not product approvals. Contact Daxuan Welding for applicable supply specifications and batch test data.
For project selection, confirm the applicable data against the base material, welding position, shielding gas and service conditions.
