5052A aluminum sheet is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy in the 5000 series (Al-Mg) with excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical strength. It is widely used in marine, transportation, chemical, and general industrial applications. The “A” temper indicates a softer, more ductile condition suitable for applications requiring bending, forming, and shaping without cracking.
