ER 5356 [GeKa] AlMg5 TIG Welding Wire (2.5kg)

The GeKa ER 5356 (AlMg5) is a high performance aluminium TIG welding rod designed for professional fabrication of 5xxx and 6xxx series alloys. Containing approximately 5% Magnesium, this wire is engineered to provide a robust combination of mechanical strength and exceptional resistance to atmospheric and seawater corrosion.

ER 5356 is the most widely utilised aluminium filler for its excellent weldability and aesthetic finish. It is the go to solution for components that require post weld anodizing, as it maintains a much better colour match than 4043 series wires. Whether you are building marine vessels, high speed rail cars, or structural automotive frames, GeKa’s 5356 rods deliver the consistent chemistry needed for X-ray quality results.

Key Features

High Magnesium Alloy (AlMg5): Provides higher shear strength than 4043 wire, making it ideal for structural joints.

Marine Grade Corrosion Resistance: Specifically formulated to withstand harsh seawater environments without degrading.

Anodising Compatible: The preferred choice for architectural and automotive parts where colour matching after anodising is critical.

Multi Position Capability: Precision engineered for stable arc control in all welding positions (PA through PG).

Wide Material Compatibility: Suitable for a vast range of base materials including AlMg3, AlMg5, and the 6061/6082 series.

Certified Quality: Fully compliant with AWS and ISO standards, with test certificates available for project compliance.
