MATRIX AL5356

MATRIX Aluminum Wire 5356, also known as ER5356 Aluminum Welding Wire, is a high-quality, general-purpose aluminum filler metal widely used in MIG (Gas Metal Arc Welding) applications. This aluminum-magnesium alloy (typically containing about 5% magnesium) offers excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine and saltwater environments, making it a top choice for industries requiring strong, long-lasting welds.

Engineered for smooth arc characteristics and minimal spatter, ER5356 provides consistent feedability and clean weld finishes. It’s particularly well-suited for joining 5XXX series aluminum base metals such as 5050, 5052, 5083, and 5652. This wire delivers high strength, good ductility, and excellent color match after anodising – a critical factor for aesthetically exposed welds
