|---|---|
Aluminum 5052 is one of the higher strength non-heat treatable alloys (Annealed it is stronger than 1100 and 3003). Alloy 5052 has excellent characteristics with a high fatigue strength it is used for structures which are subject to excessive vibrations. As 5052 also has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine atmospheres and is therefore commonly used in boats, marine components, fuel and oil tubing.
5052 is an aluminium alloy, primarily alloyed with magnesium and chromium.
The alloy composition of 5052 is:
Magnesium - 2.2%-2.8% by weight
Chromium - 0.15%-0.35% maximum
Copper - 0.1% maximum
Iron - 0.4% maximum
Manganese - 0.1% maximum
Silicon - 0.25% maximum
Zinc - 0.1% maximum
Remainder Aluminium
Typical applications include marine, aircraft, architecture, general sheet metal work, heat exchangers, fuel lines and tanks, flooring panels, streetlights, appliances, rivets and wire.
The exceptional corrosion resistance of 5052 alloy against seawater and salt spray makes it a primary candidate for the failure-sensitive large marine structures, like tanks of liquefied natural gas tankers.
