Hobart® MaxalMig® 5356
5356 filler metal is the most common aluminum/magnesium alloy for general purpose welding and is typically used in the construction industry in fabricating truck trailers, small fishing boats, and in cryogenic applications.
Features/Benefits:
- High strength (40 ksi typical)
- High ductility/fatigue strength/very high toughness
- Moderate ductility/formability
- Lower electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity
- Higher column strength/better feedability
- Very good color match after anodizing with 5xxx/6xxx base materials
