The 5052 aluminum coil contains approximately 2.5% magnesium and 0.25% chromium. It is a non-heat-treatable alloy, strengthened primarily through cold working processes such as rolling. This alloy is valued for its exceptional corrosion resistance—particularly in marine environments—along with high fatigue strength, excellent formability, and outstanding weldability.

5052 aluminum coils are widely used in applications that require a combination of strength, light weight, and excellent corrosion resistance. Common uses include:
Marine industry – ship hulls, decks, superstructures, and other components exposed to seawater.
Automotive sector – fuel tanks, body panels, truck/trailer bodies, and storage boxes.
Construction & architecture – roofing, curtain walls, lamp posts, decorative panels, and structural elements.
Industrial equipment – storage tanks, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, pipelines, and machinery housings.
Consumer & household products – appliance panels, kitchen equipment, and furniture parts.
Its ability to be easily formed, welded, and surface-finished makes 5052 aluminum coil a versatile material for both structural and decorative applications across multiple industries.
