5356 is a 95% aluminium 5% magnesium wire for general purpose welding of the 5XXX series alloys when 40 000 psi (276 MPa) is not required. It should be used with zirconiated tungsten electrode with pure argon or an argon-helium mixture (Alushield®) for thick sections at flow rates of 10-15 l/min. For oxy-acetylene gas welding a neutral should be used with aluminium welding flux. Applications found in the construction of ships, bulk container, railway and automotive industries.
The order was shipped in good time, but they got the items wrong. I ordered 100 tig wire 2.4mm and there was 34 x 1.6mm in the order, so not all 100 were of the right diameter. And because it was courier guy delivery I did not send it back.
