5052 Aluminum Bar and Rod

Grade: 5052

Size:

Cold drawn: 2mm-12mm

Extruded: 6mm-400mm

Standard: ASTM, AMS, BS etc.

5052 is a non heat treatable aluminum magnesium chromium alloy valued for corrosion resistance, weldability and moderate strength. Bars and rods are useful for marine hardware, formed parts and equipment components exposed to humid environments. Strain hardening and stabilization produce H tempers; thermal aging does not produce a T6 condition in this alloy. Annealed stock is easier to form but can be less convenient to machine. Mechanical requirements must match the actual cold working route and bar dimensions.
