Specification

Name: 5000 series Aluminum Plate

Alloy: 5052, 5005, 5754, 5083 etc.

Temper: O, H12, H22, H32, H14, H24, H26, H18, H112 etc.

Thickness: 0.2-200mm

Width: Up to 1800mm

Length: up to 6000mm

Surface treatment: mill finished, anodized, embossed, PVC coated

Feature

Machinability: It has relatively fair machinability. It is easier to machine in the hard temper than as annealed and the quality of finish is better if machined in the hard condition. Oil lubricants should be used for machining, except that very light cuts may be done dry.

Forming: It is readily formed at room temperature. Successive cold working decreases the formability.

Heat Treatment: It cannot be hardened by means of heat treatment. It does harden due to cold working.

Forging: It may be forged in the temperature range of 950 F down to 500 F

Cold Working: The alloy cold works readily and may be formed by drawing or spinning. However the amount of cold work imparted by spinning makes intermediate annealing necessary.

Annealing: Anneal at 650 F and air cool.

Hardening: Hardens only from cold working.

Application

hydraulic tubes, kitchen cabinets, small boats, home freezers, milk crates, aircraft tube, fencing, small boats, gas lines, refrigerator panels, utensils, welded pressure vessels, marine, auto aircraft cryogenics, drilling rigs, TV towers, transportation equipment, missile components etc.
