Description

SIFMIG 5356 – Aluminium MIG Wire – 0.8 mm x 2 Kg

SIFMIG 5356 is a high-quality aluminium MIG wire designed with 5% magnesium. This composition ensures excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, making it ideal for various welding applications.

Features & Benefits:

• 5% Magnesium Content: Provides the wire with superior corrosion resistance and strength.
• Precision Layer Wound: Ensures positive uninterrupted feeding, making it suitable for both semi-automated and fully-automated welding systems.
• Versatile Applications: Can be used on a variety of aluminium alloys and is also suitable for welding components that are to be anodised.

Common Applications:

• Magnesium Bearing Aluminium Alloys: Such as 5251 (N4), 5154 (N5), and 5454 (N51).
• Heat Treatable Alloys: Including 6063 (H9), 6061 (H20), and 6082 (H30).
• Dissimilar Aluminium Alloys: Suitable for welding grades containing up to 5% Mg.

Suitable for use on plate, pipe, tube and components. Ensure that parent metal surface is cleaned and fully degreased prior to welding.

Material To Be Welded

Suitable for welding magnesium bearing aluminium alloys such as 5251 (N4), 5154 (N5), 5454 (N51) and also heat treatable alloys 6063 (H9), 6061 (H20) and 6082 (H30). Also suitable for welding forged and cast aluminium-manganese / aluminium-magnesium components, and dissimilar aluminium alloy grades containing a maximum of 5% Mg. Can also be used to weld components which are to be subsequently anodised.

Pre-heating up to 1200 degC may be necessary, subject to material size and thickness. Wire brushing between passes is recommended to ensure removal of surface oxide build up.
