5052 Aluminum Wire is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy belonging to the Al–Mg series. It is well known for its excellent corrosion resistance, good fatigue strength, and superior formability. Compared with 5005 aluminum wire, 5052 offers higher strength while maintaining good workability, making it one of the most widely used alloys in the 5xxx series.
Description
Features
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance
The higher magnesium content provides outstanding resistance to seawater, marine atmospheres, and industrial environments.
- Higher Strength than 5005
、Offers improved tensile strength and fatigue resistance compared with lower-magnesium aluminum alloys.
- Good Formability and Ductility
Suitable for bending, drawing, and forming processes without cracking.
- Non-Heat-Treatable Alloy
Strength is achieved through strain hardening rather than heat treatment.
- Good Weldability
、Performs well in common welding processes with reliable joint strength.
