5052 Work-Hardened Corrosion-Resistant Alloy

5052 is an aluminum-magnesium rust-proof alloy and the most commonly used grade in the 5xxx series. Its primary alloying element is magnesium, with a small amount of chromium added to improve resistance to intergranular corrosion. This alloy cannot be strengthened by heat treatment; instead, its strength is enhanced through cold working (strain hardening).

5052 is an aluminum-magnesium, rust-resistant alloy and the most commonly used grade in the 5xxx series. Its primary alloying element is magnesium, with a small addition of chromium to improve resistance to intergranular corrosion. This alloy cannot be strengthened by heat treatment; instead, its strength is enhanced through work hardening (cold working). 5052 aluminum coils and sheets offer excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability (including bending capabilities), with H32 and H34 being the most prevalent tempers available on the market. Offering higher strength than pure aluminum and exceptional resistance to marine atmospheric corrosion, 5052 is widely used in sectors such as transportation, sheet metal fabrication, container manufacturing, and architectural curtain walls. It is a highly sought-after rust-resistant aluminum material for international trade and export.

Warehousing Management

Before each batch of steel leaves the factory, a complete process inspection is strictly carried out. From chemical composition, mechanical properties to dimensional tolerance and surface quality, each item is carefully checked to ensure compliance with national standards and export regulations. At the same time, the quantity, packaging and rust prevention treatment are also verified. An original factory warranty certificate is attached, guaranteeing the quality. Before shipment, inspection photos are provided. Any non-compliant items will not be released, and the quality is fully controllable throughout the process. This ensures your overseas purchasing is safe and worry-free.

All items are visually inspected before delivery. No cracks, deformation, rust, scratches or cutting marks are allowed; edges must be smooth. Only visually sound products will be shipped.

Thickness, width, length, wall thickness, outer diameter have been measured. Straightness, curvature, torsion, diagonal tolerance all meet the corresponding tolerance requirements.

Quality inspection includes: mechanical property tests (yield strength, tensile strength), elongation rate, impact energy, hardness testing, chemical composition testing, process performance testing, etc.

Inspection according to packaging requirements: secure binding, moisture-proof film, rust-proof paper, export fumigation/fumigation-free wooden crates, shipping marks, gross weight, net weight, etc.

We will provide full reception services to support the customers' on-site inspection of the goods.
