5052 0 Aluminum

Description aluminum alloy 5052 contains nominally 2 5 magnesium 0 25 chromium and has good workability medium static strength high fatigue strength good weldability and very good corrosion resistance especially in marine atmospheres.

5052 0 aluminum. These grades are considered to have good weldablility and resistance to corrosion. Both 5052 h32 aluminum and 5052 o aluminum are variants of the same material. This tubing will withstand a higher pressure than 3003 0 tubing. Rigid 5052 0 aluminum alloy tubing is used for low and medium pressure hydraulic systems fuel lines and oil lines.

Chemical composition limits. Its density is slightly lower than pure aluminum at 2 68 g cm 3 0 0968 lb in 3 and its chemical composition is 2 5 mg and 0 25 cr and 97 25 al. It s widely used for the bodies of boats buses trucks and trailers as well as for chemical drums. It has very good corrosion resistance especially in marine environments.

Typical uses include aircraft fuel tanks electronic mounting plates and panels fan blades refrigeration liners storm shutters and utensils. 5052 aluminum can be anodized to improve the corrosion resistance of the material in corrosive environments. Type 5052 aluminum contains 97 25 al 2 5 mg and 0 25 cr and its density is 2 68 g cm 3 0 0968 lb in 3. Grades in this family are alloyed using magnesium 2 5 and possess moderate to high strength characteristics.

Easy to weld 5052 aluminum sheets and bars known for being one of the easiest types of aluminum to weld 5052 is also recognized for its ability to resist salt water. For each property being compared the top bar is 5052 h32 aluminum and the bottom bar is 5052 o aluminum. It also has the low density and excellent thermal conductivity similar to other aluminum alloys. 5052 aluminum also includes 25 chromium.

They share alloy composition and many physical properties but develop different mechanical properties as a result of different processing. 5052 aluminum does not contain any copper which means it is not as susceptible to salt water corrosion as other aluminum alloys making it a perfect choice for marine applications. 5052 aluminum coil and aluminum sheet have good workability high fatigue strength and good weldability. Part of the 5xxx series of aluminum.

Bars are saw cut to the widths and lengths listed.
