5052 aluminum is an AL-Mg series alloy with a magnesium alloy content of approximately 2.5%. It is one of the most widely used materials for civilian use. It is known for its good processability, moderate static strength, high fatigue strength, good weldability and very good corrosion resistance. Many people are curious about the properties of 5052 aluminum. Today we will learn more about it.
5052 aluminum is a non-heat treatable alloy, but it can be cold worked to achieve higher strength. Commonly used alloy states include O/HO, H32, H34, H36, H38, etc. Different annealing states and natural aging create different material properties of 5052 aluminum, making it widely used in different industries and different environments. It is currently the most excellent non-heat treatable alloy in terms of comprehensive properties.
