Description
SIFMIG 5356 – Aluminium MIG Wire – 1.2 mm x 2 Kg
SIFMIG 5356 is a general-purpose aluminium MIG wire, enriched with 5% magnesium. This composition provides the wire with excellent corrosion resistance and high tensile strength. It’s precision layer-wound, ensuring positive and uninterrupted feeding, making it ideal for both semi-automated and fully-automated welding systems. The wire is designed to weld magnesium-bearing aluminium alloys and certain heat-treatable alloys, offering versatility in its applications.
Features & Benefits:
- Magnesium Enriched: Contains 5% magnesium, enhancing corrosion resistance and strength.
- Precision Layer Wound: Ensures continuous and positive feeding, ideal for automated systems.
- Versatile Welding: Suitable for a range of aluminium alloys and heat-treatable variants.
- High Tensile Strength: Offers an ultimate tensile strength of 250 N/mm².
- Optimal Melting Point: Melts at 640°C, ensuring a smooth welding process.
Common Applications:
- Welding magnesium-bearing aluminium alloys like 5251 (N4), 5154 (N5), and 5454 (N51).
- Suitable for heat-treatable alloys such as 6063 (H9), 6061 (H20), and 6082 (H30).
- Welding forged and cast aluminium-manganese or aluminium-magnesium components.
- Joining dissimilar aluminium alloy grades with up to 5% Mg.
- Welding components that will undergo anodising.
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.
Suitable for use on plate, pipe, tube and components. Ensure that parent metal surface is cleaned and fully degreased prior to welding.
