5052 aluminum strip is a magnesium-chromium alloyed material well known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength, and good formability. As a non-heat treatable alloy, it achieves its mechanical properties through cold working and is available in tempers such as O, H32, H34, H36, and H38. The strip is widely supplied in thicknesses from 0.01 mm up to 6 mm, with common widths between 36–60 inches, and lengths up to 144 inches.

5052 aluminum strip is a magnesium-chromium alloy well known for its balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and workability. Its main characteristics include:
Excellent corrosion resistance – especially against seawater, salt spray, and chemical environments, making it suitable for marine and outdoor use.
Good formability – easily processed by bending, rolling, or stamping, with high suitability for deep drawing and complex shapes.
High fatigue strength – performs reliably in applications exposed to vibration and cyclic loading.
Non-heat treatable alloy – strengthened through cold working, available in tempers such as O, H32, H34, H36, and H38.
Good weldability – compatible with most common welding methods while maintaining strength and corrosion resistance.
Moderate machinability – easier to machine than pure aluminum, while still providing durability.
Lightweight with stable performance – density of 2.68 g/cm³, combining low weight with mechanical stability.
Versatile surface finishes – available in mill finish, polished, brushed, embossed, or anodized for both industrial and decorative applications.
These characteristics make 5052 aluminum strip one of the most popular choices in marine, automotive, construction, electrical, and decorative industries.
