QuAlMg5 TIG Welding Wire – Aluminium AlMg5 / ER5356 (3.3556)
QuAlMg5 TIG Welding Wire – Aluminium AlMg5 / ER5356 (3.3556)
QuAlMg5 is the most widely used aluminium filler metal of all: EN ISO 18273 S Al 5356 (AlMg5) · AWS SFA-5.10 ER5356 · material no. 3.3556. With 5 % magnesium it covers virtually the entire AlMg and AlMgSi range — from sheet metal to extruded profiles.
The weld metal is sea-water resistant and anodises to an almost matching colour. When it is not clear which AlMg alloy is in front of you, QuAlMg5 is the safe choice.
Recommended base materials
- AlMg wrought alloys: AlMg1, AlMg1.5, AlMg1.8, AlMg4.5, AlMg5, AlMg2Mn0.3
- AlMgSi alloys: AlMgSi0.7, AlMgSi0.8, AlMgSi1, AlMg1SiCu, E-AlMgSi
- AlMg casting alloys: G-AlMg3, G-AlMg5, G-AlMg10
Typical applications
- The all-rounder for AlMg and AlMgSi structures
- Repairs to anodised visible parts
- Components in shipbuilding and exposed to weathering
- Sheets, profiles, frames, vessels
Properties and advantages
- Widest application range of the AlMg family — covers almost all AlMg and AlMgSi base materials
- Sea-water resistant, anodises to a matching colour
- Weld metal: Re 110 MPa · Rm 250 MPa · A 18 %
- Shielding gas argon; post-processing material-typical
TIG advantage: For larger aluminium structures away from the laser — Ø 1.6–4.0 mm, considerably higher deposition per layer.
TIG form: for manual repair welding.
