Your aluminum weld can look perfect before anodizing—and still come back the wrong color. 🫣

So, what should architects and fabricators consider when designing welded aluminum products that will be anodized?

When color matching anodized elements is important, ER5356 is a commonly selected filler metal. ER5356 is a 5% magnesium aluminum filler alloy used for both TIG and MIG welding and can produce a light silver/white appearance after anodizing that blends well with architectural aluminum alloys such as 5052 and 6061.

ER4043 is also a commonly used filler metal to weld aluminum but can produce a noticeably darker gray appearance if it is anodized. Due to these color match differences, architects and fabricators need to understand the desired finish application process before any welding begins.

If the finished aluminum will be anodized, the base-metal alloy, filler-metal chemistry, and desired finish all need to be considered during fabrication to produce a weld that will color match the surrounding metal elements.

As part of the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) reconstruction of the John Ireland Boulevard Bridge in St. Paul, StellarCraft fabricated 26 custom decorative steel pedestal assemblies that are now part of the completed bridge.

Fabricated from 3/8-inch A36 steel plate, the assemblies included:

• 14 pedestals with cast-steel ball tops
• 12 pedestals without ball tops
• Approximately 765 lbs. per finished assembly
• Galvanized and powder-coated finishes

This project highlights several of our in-house capabilities, including heavy plate fabrication, precision fitting and welding, complex custom assemblies, integration of cast-steel components, and coordination of multi-step architectural finishing.

We are excited to see the John Ireland Boulevard Bridge be put to use this week as the finish line for the 2026 Twin Cities Marathon on October 4 🏃‍♂️

⛳ Dusty and Spencer took their unofficial judging duties very seriously at the JE Dunn Construction annual golf tournament last week.

After checking out the hole sponsor setups, we’re happy to report that StellarCraft took home the unofficial title of Best Hole on the Course! 🏆

With axe throwing, pickleball, drinks, and, of course, some metal samples, we had a great time getting out of the office and connecting with the local Minneapolis JE Dunn team.

We’re currently working with JE Dunn on the State Office Building and Basilica restoration projects, so it was especially great to spend some time together outside of the jobsite.

Thanks to the JE Dunn team for a great day. We’ll see you on the course next year! 🏌️‍♂️
