DETAILS
5356 is very commonly used for higher strength welding of 5XXX and 6XXX base materials. It has higher columnar strength and uses less amperage for the same WFS as 4XXX filler metals.
Features
- Premium Spooled 5356 Product.
- Optimal for semi-automatic applications
- Stable arc and easy to manipulate puddle
Typical Applications
- General purpose filler alloy for 5XXX and 6XXX series alloys.
- Trailer Manufacturing
- Formed truck panels
- Structural frames in the shipbuilding industry
Shielding Gas
- I1 : Inert gas Ar (100%), I3 : Inert gas Ar+ 0.5-95% He, Flow rate : 14-24 l/min (Argon)
