Premium Aluminium-Magnesium MIG Welding Wire for High-Strength Applications
Product Overview
The CIGWELD 5356 Aluminium MIG Welding Wire (0.9mm, 7kg roll) is a high-quality aluminium-magnesium alloy welding wire engineered for professional and industrial MIG welding applications. Designed for welders who demand consistent arc performance, excellent feedability, and strong, crack-resistant welds, this wire is a trusted choice across marine, automotive, structural, and general fabrication industries.
Key Features
- Alloy Composition: ER5356 aluminium-magnesium alloy, offering high tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance
- Wire Diameter: 0.9mm — ideal for medium-gauge aluminium sheet and plate welding
- Roll Weight: 7kg spool for extended, uninterrupted welding runs, reducing downtime from frequent roll changes
- Smooth Feedability: Precision-wound and tightly toleranced for consistent wire feed through MIG guns and liners
- Low Spatter, Stable Arc: Produces clean, uniform weld beads with minimal spatter and porosity
- Trusted Brand: Manufactured by CIGWELD, a reputable name in Australian welding consumables
Why Choose 5356 Aluminium Wire?
5356 wire is one of the most versatile aluminium filler wires available, prized for its higher magnesium content compared to 4043 wire. This makes it particularly well-suited to applications requiring greater strength, better colour match after anodising, and superior performance in seawater or marine environments.
Common Applications
- Marine and boat building (hulls, fittings, tanks)
- Automotive and transport fabrication (aluminium chassis, trailers, bull bars)
- Structural aluminium fabrication
- General repairs and maintenance welding
- Sheet metal and plate work in workshops and fabrication shops
Compatible Base Metals
Suitable for welding 5xxx series aluminium alloys (5052, 5083, 5086, 5456) as well as some 6xxx series alloys where higher strength welds are required.
Recommended For
- MIG welding aluminium sheet and plate from approximately 3mm to 12mm thickness
- Welders using spool guns or push-pull MIG systems for aluminium
- Fabricators requiring AS/NZS-compliant consumables for certified welding work
