Description
Hobart ER5356 .030 Aluminum MIG Wire, 1lb Spool - H383806-R18
Genuine Hobart® ER5356 .030" Aluminum MIG Welding Wire is the go-to choice for a wide range of aluminum MIG welding applications. Classified under AWS A5.10 ER5356, this all-position solid wire is commonly used in construction, truck trailer fabrication, and marine manufacturing. Known for its high strength and outstanding corrosion resistance—especially in saltwater environments—it’s ideal for welding 5086 and other lower-strength aluminum alloys (minimum 35 ksi UTS).
Applications
Welds 5086 and lower strength alloys (35 ksi minimum UTS)
Truck frames
Shipbuilding
Rail cars
Bus panels
Features
- Most common aluminum/magnesium alloy for general purpose welding
