OK Autrod 5356: Mig/Mag Wires (Gmaw) Aluminum Wires

OK Autrod 5356 is an aluminum MIG welding wire that is a general purpose alloy commonly used for its relatively high shear strength. It has an AlMg5 composition and is non-heat treatable. The wire can be used on 5XXX aluminum alloys but welding alloys with over 3% magnesium at temperatures over 65°C may be susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. Recommended welding parameters including current and voltage are provided for various wire diameters ranging from 0.8 to 2.4 mm.

ALUMINUM WIRES

OK Autrod 5356
OK Autrod 5356 is the most widely used welding alloy and can be classified as a general purpose type filler alloy. OK Autrod 5356 is typically chosen because of its
relatively high shear strength. The 5XXX alloy base material, welded with OK Autrod 5356, with a weld pool chemistry greater than 3 % Mg and service temperatures in
excess of 65°C are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. The alloy is non-heat treatable.
