DETAILS
SuperGlaze® 5356 Aluminum Magnesium alloy is very commonly used for higher strength welding of 5XXX and 6XXX base materials. Its higher columnar strength offers improved feeding.
Features
- General purpose filler alloy for 5XXX and 6XXX series alloys
- Most widely used aluminum-magnesium welding alloy
- High strength filler metal
- Simple design, no complex external pay-off systems
- Wire travels straight up in one layer with least resistance
- Patented design helps minimize arc-flaring and tip burnback
