5056 aluminum wire is a high-strength, magnesium-based aluminum–magnesium (Al–Mg) alloy wire. It combines excellent corrosion resistance with superior mechanical strength, making it ideal for marine, chemical, and outdoor applications. Compared with 1000 and 3000 series aluminum wires, 5056 offers higher strength while retaining outstanding resistance to seawater corrosion and general environmental degradation.
