Description

SIFMIG 5356 – Aluminium MIG Wire – 1.0 mm x 6.5 Kg

SIFMIG 5356 Aluminium MIG Wire, with a diameter of 1.0mm and weighing 6.5 Kg, is a general-purpose MIG wire designed for welding aluminium. It contains 5% magnesium, enhancing its corrosion resistance and overall strength.

Key Features:

• Magnesium Content: Contains 5% magnesium, which provides excellent corrosion resistance.
• Precision Layer Wound: Ensures positive uninterrupted feeding, making it ideal for both semi-automated and fully-automated welding systems.
• Diameter: 1.0mm
• Package Weight: 6.5 Kg
• High Strength: Produces welds with high strength, suitable for various applications.

Common Applications:

SIFMIG 5356 Aluminium MIG Wire is ideal for:

• Welding magnesium-bearing aluminium alloys such as 5251 (N4), 5154 (N5), and 5454 (N51).
• Welding heat-treatable alloys like 6063 (H9), 6061 (H20), and 6082 (H30).
• Welding forged and cast aluminium-manganese / aluminium-magnesium components.
• Welding dissimilar aluminium alloy grades containing up to 5% Mg.
• Welding components that will be anodised later.

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.

Welding Positions

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