ED030282 - Lincoln Electric SuperGlaze 5356 Aluminum MIG Wire 3/64" 20lb Spool

Premium Aluminum Welding Performance

The Lincoln Electric SuperGlaze 5356 Aluminum MIG Wire (ED030282) is a top-tier consumable designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial aluminum fabrication. Engineered with a 3/64-inch diameter and supplied on a 20lb spool, this wire is the go-to choice for professionals welding 5XXX and 6XXX series aluminum alloys. As an Aluminum-Magnesium (AlMg5) alloy, ER5356 is widely recognized for its high tensile strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making it superior to 4043 alloys for structural applications where durability is paramount.

SuperGlaze Technology

One of the defining features of this product is Lincoln Electric's proprietary SuperGlaze manufacturing process. This technology controls the surface finish of the wire to an exacting degree, significantly reducing friction as the wire travels through the liner and contact tip. For industrial welders, this means fewer feeding problems, such as bird-nesting or tangling, which are common challenges when working with softer aluminum wires. The enhanced columnar strength of the wire further aids in push-pull or standard push feeding systems, ensuring a stable arc and consistent weld bead appearance.

Industrial Applications

This 5356 alloy is particularly well-suited for applications requiring high shear strength and good ductility. It is the standard filler metal for welding automotive components, such as frames and drive shafts, as well as bicycle frames and marine structures. Unlike 4043 filler metals, SuperGlaze 5356 provides a good color match when the finished part is anodized, making it essential for architectural and aesthetic projects. At Josef Gas, we recommend this wire for fabrication shops looking to optimize their aluminum welding processes with a reliable, high-performance consumable that reduces downtime and improves weld quality.
