MIG WELD ML5356 (AlMg5) 1.0mm/7kg Wire, BS300

MIG WELD ML5356 (AlMg5) wire 1.0 mm / 7 kg / ER5356 / BS300

MIG WELD ML5356 is a solid aluminium welding wire alloyed with magnesium, manganese and chromium, designed for MIG welding of aluminium alloys. It corresponds to classification EN ISO 18273: S Al 5356 (AlMg5Cr) and AWS A5.10: ER5356, with material number 3.3556. A magnesium content of approximately 4.5–5.5% contributes to good weld metal strength, toughness and corrosion resistance in marine environments.

The welding wire is characterised by good mechanical properties and resistance to the effects of seawater. It is also suitable for aluminium structures intended for subsequent anodising, where a good colour match between the weld metal and the base material is required. Inert shielding gases I1 (argon), I2 (helium) or I3 (argon and helium mixtures) according to EN ISO 14175 are used for welding. Direct current with positive wire polarity (DC+) is used in the MIG process.

MIG WELD ML5356 is used in the production of boats, coastal and marine structures, railway vehicles, automotive components, tanks and aluminium frames. It is suitable for welding alloys AlMg5, AlMg3, AlZnMg1, AlZnMgCu0.5, AlMgSi0.7, AlMg1SiCu and compatible aluminium castings. The 1.0 mm diameter allows for good control of the weld pool when welding thinner and medium-thickness aluminium parts. The wire is supplied in 7 kg packs on a BS300 spool for professional and industrial use.
