Aluminum 5052
As a popular alloy in the 5000 series, 5052 Aluminum offers distinct corrosion resistance and strength-to-weight ratio advantages versus other aluminum alloys. Work with us to see how this dynamic alloy can be used in your industry, from automotive to aerospace. See how this non-heat treatable alloy can withstand environments and provide excellent machinability for your application.
Features of 5052 Aluminum
Some of the crucial features of 5052 aluminum sheet are its corrosion resistance and strength. This dependable aluminum can be used in environments where it is exposed to harsh chemicals and routine moisture, including saltwater. This is due in part to the addition of Chromium and Magnesium. Many grades of aluminum are known for their strength-to-weight ratio, but 5052 also offers the following features:
- Formability: Bend and shape aluminum sheets to fit the exact dimensions of your finished component.
- Machinability: Whether cutting, milling, or drilling, your facility can easily machine this alloy to precision standards.
- Finish: The surface of 5052 aluminum is suitable for painting, powder coating, and anodizing.
- Weldability: Both MIG and TIG welding create a smooth, secure joint.
While this alloy is not suitable for heat-treating processes, it is one of the most durable, dependable options for aluminum. Ask us about work-hardening processes as an alternative to heat treating.
