IW-ER5356 (AlMg5) The IW-AlMg5 is an aluminum welding wire alloyed with 5% magnesium, specifically designed for gas metal arc welding (MIG) of Al-Mg and Al-Mg-Si alloys. Due to its excellent seawater resistance and high tensile strength, it is an ideal choice for shipbuilding, tank fabrication, and the automotive industry. Recommended for welding base materials with a tensile strength of up to 250 N/mm2 in pure Argon (Ar) or Argon-Helium (Ar/He) shielding gas environments.Technical data: Classification EN ISO 18273: S Al 5356 AWS standard AWS A5.10: ER5356 Tensile strength 240-300 MPa Yield strength 110-120 MPa Elongation > 17%Elding current: DC (+)Key features and benefits: Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Outstanding resistance to saltwater and marine environments, as well as formic acid corrosion. High Structural Strength: Provides one of the highest weld joint strengths among Al-Mg alloys. Precision Wire Feeding: The mirror-smooth and clean wire surface guarantees continuous, jam-free feeding through the torch. Perfect Anodizing Quality: Post-weld, the color of the weld bead matches the base material exceptionally well during the anodizing process.
