SM ER 5356

DETAILS

Features/Characteristics

SM ER 5356 wire typical applications include boats, ships, bicycles, trucks, pressure vessels, and automotive parts and equipment. This filler metal has one important limitation, which is its unsuitability at service temperatures exceeding 150°F (65 °C). This is due to the formation of Al2Mg at elevated temperatures at the grain boundaries, which makes the alloys prone to stress corrosion. This restricts its use when post-weld artificial aging. After anodizing, the colour typically appears white. ER5356 has nominal composition (wt-%) of 5 Mg balance Al. This filler metals is a non-heat-treatable wire used to weld the 5xxx series base metals to themselves and other alloys. It has become the most commonly used of all filler alloys because of its compatibility with most base alloys, its good strength, and its good feed ability when used as a GMAW electrode wire.
