Aluminum 5052 Sheet Metal

Known for being one of the easiest types of aluminum to weld 5052 is also recognized for its ability to resist salt water.

Aluminum 5052 sheet metal.

Most of our 5052 aluminum sheet plate stock is available in full size and custom cut lengths. It has high fatigue and medium static strength. 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 aluminum alloy is often exposed to this stress as it is commonly stamped from sheet metal plate.

However aluminum 5052 h32 also contains small amounts of chromium silicon iron copper manganese and zinc to add additional strength to the aluminum base product. Tanks marine hardware boat hulls etc. Aluminum sheet plate 5052 is normally used for fuel marine automotive and machine applications. The 5052 aluminum sheet is highly resistant to corrosion.

5052 provides excellent formability good corrosion resistance good workability and higher strength than that of either 1100 or 3003. Aluminum 5052 sheet click image to enlarge 5052 h32 aluminum alloy is a high strength non heat treatable metal material that contains magnesium as its added character element. It s widely used because of its formability and durability. It s widely used for the bodies of boats buses trucks and trailers as well as for chemical drums.

It also has the low density and excellent thermal conductivity similar to other aluminum alloys. 5052 aluminum sheet applications include. It is an alloy that contains 0 25 percent chromium and 2 5 percent magnesium. Tensile strength range is 31 to 44 ksi.

Shear strength is the strength of a material when being sheared by opposing forces along a plane. Cut piece total 5052 aluminum sheet 5052 is alloyed with 2 5 magnesium.
