5052B aluminum sheet is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy in the 5000 series (Al-Mg), known for its excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, and stable performance. It is commonly used in marine, transportation, and chemical equipment applications where corrosion resistance and moderate strength are critical. The “B” temper indicates a general-purpose work-hardened condition with medium strength and good ductility.
