The Tradeweld EWMG00021 is a premium-quality 5356 Aluminium MIG Welding Wire designed for a wide range of demanding aluminium welding applications. This versatile, all-position wire contains 5% magnesium, a key component that delivers high tensile strength, exceptional corrosion resistance, and superior crack resistance. Precision-manufactured to ensure consistent feedability and arc stability, this wire enables welders to achieve clean, strong, and visually appealing welds with minimal spatter.
Key Features and Benefits
- High-Strength 5356 Alloy: The 5% magnesium content provides significantly higher strength and better ductility than ER4043 wire, making it a reliable choice for structural applications. It is particularly suitable for welding alloys in the 5XXX series, including 5052, 5083, and 5456.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: This wire is an ideal solution for applications in harsh environments, especially those exposed to saltwater. Its high corrosion resistance protects welded joints against deterioration, ensuring the longevity and integrity of the finished product.
- Superior Crack Resistance: The 5356 alloy's composition provides excellent resistance to hot cracking, which is a common problem when welding aluminium. This ensures the production of robust, defect-free welds.
- Versatile Applications: From marine construction and bicycle frames to pressure vessels and automotive parts, this wire is trusted for a broad spectrum of fabrication and maintenance tasks. It is also widely used for welding and repairing injection molds.
- Optimal Feedability and Performance: The wire is manufactured using advanced processes that ensure a smooth and consistent feed through the MIG torch, minimizing feed problems and ensuring a stable arc. This results in reliable, professional-grade welds with every pass. For best results, use a spool gun or a proper Teflon/plastic liner.
- Compact and Convenient: Supplied in a practical 500g roll, this welding wire is convenient for smaller jobs, repairs, and workshops where a balance between supply and convenience is important.
