ED030312 - Lincoln SuperGlaze 5356 Aluminum MIG Wire 3/64" 16lb Spool

Superior Feedability for Frustration-Free Aluminum Welding

Welders know that aluminum MIG welding can be a challenge, often plagued by feeding issues and burn-backs. Lincoln Electric's SuperGlaze 5356 (ED030312) is designed to solve these problems directly. The "SuperGlaze" difference lies in the wire's surface treatment; it is ultra-smooth and clean, reducing friction as it travels through your gun liner and contact tip. This enhanced columnar strength allows the wire to be pushed more effectively without buckling, giving you a smooth, stable arc and significantly less downtime clearing bird-nests. If you are welding 5000-series or 6000-series aluminum, this is the wire that keeps you welding rather than troubleshooting.

The 5356 alloy is the "workhorse" of aluminum filler metals. It is stiffer than 4043, which aids in feeding, but it also produces a weld with higher ductility and tensile strength. This makes it the go-to choice for welding parts that will be subjected to vibration or stress, such as trailer frames, boat hulls, and automotive supports. The 3/64" diameter on this 16 lb spool is a standard size for many industrial MIG setups, offering a good balance between deposition rate and control on thinner materials.

Beyond mechanical strength, SuperGlaze 5356 offers excellent aesthetic results. If your project requires post-weld anodizing, this wire is essential as it will not discolor like other alloys. It produces a bright, clean weld bead with excellent wetting characteristics. For professional welders seeking consistent quality and performance in their aluminum fabrication projects, Lincoln's SuperGlaze 5356 is a trusted solution that delivers structural integrity and operational efficiency.
