OVERVIEW

Reliable Aluminum MIG Wire for Tough Jobs

Take your aluminum welding projects to the next level with the Lincoln Electric SuperGlaze 5356 Aluminum MIG Wire. This 20lb spool of 3/64" wire (ED030282) is formulated to deliver exceptional results on 5000 and 6000 series base materials. Whether you are repairing a truck trailer, fabricating a boat hull, or building custom automotive parts, the ER5356 classification ensures you have the strength and toughness required for dynamic loads. Known as a general-purpose filler alloy, it is the most widely used aluminum-magnesium welding wire in the industry today.

Smooth Feeding and Stable Arc

Aluminum welding can be frustrating due to wire feeding issues, but Lincoln's SuperGlaze technology solves this by providing a superior surface finish. This wire is engineered to glide smoothly through your MIG gun liner and contact tip, minimizing shaving and clogging. The result is a stable, crisp arc with minimal spatter, allowing you to lay down professional-grade beads with ease. The 3/64" diameter is a standard size for medium-to-heavy gauge aluminum, offering a perfect balance between deposition rate and control.

Versatility and Strength

While 4043 wire is often used for its flow characteristics, 5356 is the superior choice when weld strength is the priority. It offers nearly double the tensile strength of 4043 in some applications and is much more resistant to cracking in structures subject to vibration. Additionally, if your project involves post-weld anodizing, this wire will anodize to a color very similar to the base metal, avoiding the dark gray discoloration associated with silicon-based alloys. Equip your shop with Lincoln SuperGlaze 5356 from Welders Supply and experience the difference that premium quality wire makes in your daily fabrication work.

FAQ

This wire has a diameter of 3/64 inches, which is approximately 1.2 mm.

100% Argon is the most common shielding gas for this wire. For thicker sections, Argon/Helium mixtures can be used to increase heat input.

Yes, ER5356 alloys provide a good color match with the base metal after anodizing, unlike ER4043 which turns dark gray.

Yes, SuperGlaze 5356 is an excellent choice for welding 6XXX series alloys like 6061, especially when higher weld strength is required.

This product comes on a 20 lb (approx. 9.07 kg) plastic spool.

Yes, when welding aluminum, it is highly recommended to use a Teflon or plastic liner (U-groove drive rolls are also recommended) to prevent wire shaving and feeding issues.

5356 (Al-Mg) is stronger and more ductile than 4043 (Al-Si). 5356 feeds better due to stiffness but operates at slightly different parameters. 4043 flows better and is less sensitive to cracking in some specific constrained joints, but 5356 is generally preferred for structural work.
