ER5356 is a general-purpose type aluminum welding wire. It contains silicon additives, which result in improved fluidity (wetting action) of the weld pool and also produces a weld less sensitive to cracking. Its bright weld finish makes it a popular choice of welders. It can be used to weld various grades of aluminum.

Metal inert gas (MIG) welding uses a consumable wire electrode and shielding gas, which is continuously fed through a welding gun. Aluminum requires some specific changes for welders who are accustomed to welding steel. It's a much softer metal so the feed wire must be larger. Aluminum is also a better conductor of heat, so welding aluminum requires more control over the power supply and the feed rate of the electrode.
