Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy is a non-heat treatable alloy with good corrosion resistance, especially to salt water. The following datasheet will provide more details about Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy.
Machinability:
The machinability of Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy is rated as fair. This alloy can be easily machined in hard temper than in annealed form, and the quality of finish is better. Other than in very light cuts, all other machining should be done using oil lubricants.
Forming:
Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy can be easily formed at room temperature. However, consecutive cold working tends to reduce the alloy's formability
Welding:
Welding can be easily performed on Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy using conventional methods. In case a filler rod is needed, it should be Aluminium / Aluminum 5356 alloy as filler. The most suitable welding methods are tungsten or consumable electrode inert gas shielded arc welding.
Forging:
Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy can be forged from 510°C (950°F) down to 260°C (500°F).
Hot Working:
Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy can be hot worked easily from 510°C (950°F) down to 260°C (500°F).
Cold Working:
Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy is easy to cold work. It can be formed by spinning and drawing. Depending on the extent of spinning, annealing may be required intermediately.
Annealing:
Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy can be annealed at 343°C (650°F) and then air cooled.
Hardening:
Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy can be hardened by cold working only.
Applications:
Aluminium / Aluminum 5052 alloy is used in the manufacture of the following products:
Milk crates
Hydraulic tubes
Appliances
Kitchen cabinets
Small boats home freezers
Aircraft tube
Fencing
This alloy is also used widely in sheet metal work and in sheet metal parts.
