5356 filler metal is the most common aluminum/magnesium alloy for general purpose welding and is typically used in the construction industry in fabricating truck trailers, small fishing boats, and in cryogenic applications. Features/Benefits: High strength (38 ksi typical). High ductility/fatigue strength/very high toughness. Moderate ductility/formability. Lower electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Higher column strength/better feedability. Very good color match after anodizing with 5xxx/6xxx base materials.
