Aluminum Alloy 5052
High Strength Formable Sheet
5052 pairs strength with low density and takes an attractive finish, which is why it turns up in consumer electronics casings and in larger housings for notebooks, televisions, and tablets. Good corrosion resistance, and it anodizes well. As manufacturers chase weight out of vehicles, 5052 has become a common substitute for steel in automotive body work. Lighter components, without giving up strength. We stock it in sheet and coil, cut to your specification.
