Nexalloy ER5356 MIG wire has increased levels of Mg, Ti and Mn along with the addition of chrome and a slight reduction in silicon. These changes work together to increase its corrosion resistance, making it the best aluminum for use in or near saltwater. ER5356 is commonly used on 5050, 5052, 5083, 5356, 5454 and 5456 base metals and is the second most widely used aluminum filler metal. ER5356 has a melting range of 1060-1175F, a density of 0.96 lbs/ci and a typical tensile strength of 38,000 psi. Its post anodizing colour is white.
