Hobart ER5356 .035 Aluminum MIG Wire, 1lb Spool - H383808-R18
Genuine Hobart® ER5356 .035" Aluminum MIG Welding Wire is one of the most widely used wires for aluminum MIG welding. Classified as AWS A5.10 ER5356, it’s ideal for welding 5086 and lower-strength aluminum alloys and is commonly used in construction, shipbuilding, truck trailers, and rail or bus manufacturing. This all-position solid MIG wire delivers strong welds with excellent corrosion resistance, especially in saltwater environments.
Applications:
-
Welding 5086 and similar alloys (minimum 35 ksi UTS)
-
Truck and trailer frames
-
Marine and shipbuilding projects
-
Railcars and bus panels
Features:
-
Most commonly used aluminum-magnesium alloy wire
-
High tensile strength (38 ksi typical)
-
Excellent ductility, fatigue resistance, and toughness
-
Good formability, with lower electrical and thermal conductivity
-
High column strength for improved feedability
-
Provides a good color match after anodizing with 5XXX and 6XXX series alloys
Shielding Gas Recommendations:
-
100% Argon for general use
-
Argon/Helium mixtures for plates 1 inch or thicker
