5356 Aluminium MIG Wire - 1.0mm Diameter on 2kg Spool
A general purpose aluminium MIG wire which is ideal on a spool-on-gun torch. This wire is best used in joining aluminiums that contain over 3% magnesium. Particularly useful in welding boilers and marine application thanks to it's resistance to sea water. Noz-Alls
Recommended gas is the usual pure argon or argon helium mix on thicker sections.
It is recommended that preheating to 150°C before welding of plates thicker than 10mmz-Alls
This wire will not leave a brown colouration if anodising.
