Ok tigrod 5356 is the most widely used welding alloy and can be classified as a general purpose type filler alloy.
The 5xxx alloy base material welded with ok tigrod 5356 with a weld pool chemistry greater than 3 mg and service temperatures in excess of 65 c are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.
5356 is a very good all purpose wire so it is the most widely used of all aluminum filler metals.
