Classification
| AWS class | ER 5356 |
|---|---|
| EN ISO class | EN ISO 18273 (2016) : Al 5356 - AlMg5Cr(A) .. |
Purpose
- Al-Mg (5% Mg) solid wire for general structural use, the most common in the Al-Mg family.
- Service from -196°C — suitable for cryogenic applications.
Why it works
The elevated magnesium (5%) gives the highest mechanical strength among this datasheet's standard Al-Mg wires (Rm 250 MPa) while keeping good ductility (A5 25%) — the reference combination for general welded aluminum structure, unless service is at sustained elevated temperature.
Fields of application
- General structural joining of aluminum-magnesium alloys (DIN 3.2315, 3.3206, 3.3210 and equivalents).
- Cryogenic applications — documented service from -196°C.

Advantages
- Best strength-ductility combination among this datasheet's standard Al-Mg wires.
- Suitable for cryogenic service down to -196°C.
Limitations
- Maximum documented service 100°C — wires with Mg >3% (like this one) aren't recommended for sustained elevated temperature due to sensitization risk (loss of intergranular corrosion resistance).
- Doesn't provide ALU 5183's higher strength if the application demands more structural load capacity.
