Hobart® MaxalMig® 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
High strength (40 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
