Alucon ER5356 Aluminum TIG Welding Rod
ER5356 aluminum TIG welding rod is a high-magnesium aluminum filler designed for strong, durable welds in automotive structural and cosmetic applications. Known for its excellent tensile strength and clean weld appearance, ER5356 is a go-to choice for fabricators working with 5xxx and 6xxx series aluminum where strength and finish matter most.
This filler offers superior as-welded strength compared to silicon-based fillers, making it ideal for brackets, frames, mounts, and components that see mechanical load but remain at low operating temperatures <150° F.
Key Features:
High-strength Al-Mg alloy (~5% Mg) for robust welds
Excellent crack resistance on 5xxx series aluminum
Bright, uniform anodized finish (preferred over silicon fillers)
Smooth arc characteristics and consistent rod feed
Machines cleaner than silicon-based fillers after welding
Common Automotive Applications
Chassis components
Brackets and mounts
Aluminum frames and structures
Cosmetic or anodized aluminum parts
General-purpose aluminum fabrication
Important Application Note
ER5356 is not recommended for continuous high-temperature service >150° F. For components exposed to sustained heat—such as coolant tanks, intercooler tanks, heat exchangers, or exhaust-adjacent parts—we recommend silicon-based fillers like ER4043 or ER4943 for improved thermal stability.
FROM ONE BUILDER TO ANOTHER.
I started Keystone because I like making things. That’s still what drives it, and it’s who I have in mind when I add something to the shop.
MAKE IT PART OF YOUR EVERYDAY.
A tool you keep within reach. A shirt you grab on Saturday morning. Sometimes it’s the simple stuff that finds a permanent place in your routine.
THERE’S A PERSON BEHIND KEYSTONE.
Not sure about something? Reach out. I’d rather help you figure out whether it’s right for you than have you order something you don’t need.
