Aluminium Alloy 5052 is a non-heat-treatable aluminium-magnesium alloy known for good corrosion resistance, formability and moderate-to-high strength.
Strong resistance in marine and general atmospheric environments.
Can be formed effectively in softer tempers.
Work hardening increases strength without heat treatment.
Commonly selected for welded fabricated products.
Aluminium Alloy 5052 is selected for applications that match its specific strength, corrosion, forming, machining and service characteristics.
Used for tanks, panels and components exposed to marine atmospheres.
Suitable for fabricated panels, enclosures and formed products.
Used in selected tanks and pressure-related fabricated components.
Applied to formed body and equipment components.
Match temper to the required forming and strength level.
5052 is commonly welded; account for temper changes in the heat-affected zone.
Evaluate stress-corrosion and galvanic interactions for severe environments.
The commonly listed Werkstoff / EN cross-reference for Aluminium Alloy 5052 is 3.3523. Treat this as a grade comparison, not a guarantee of interchangeability. Verify chemistry, product form, condition and governing specification against the supplier certificate before substitution.
No. Strength is primarily increased by cold working.
Yes. It provides very good general and marine-atmosphere corrosion resistance.
Typical uses include marine equipment, sheet-metal fabrication, tanks, enclosures and formed automotive components.
