What is the density of 5052?

2680 kg/m³ — the figure the weight calculators on this site use for 5052. The value is Hydro / Aluminium Association style alloy data’s.

What is the chemical composition of 5052?

Si ≤ 0.25, Mn ≤ 0.1, Cr 0.15–0.35, Cu ≤ 0.1, in mass %, to AA/ASTM chemistry reference. An element the standard sets no requirement for is left blank here rather than written as zero.

What are the mechanical properties of 5052?

Tensile 210–260 MPa, Yield ≥ 130 MPa, Elongation min ≥ 7 % — EN 485-2, Sheet/Plate, H32. Those are the standard’s requirements; the mill test certificate governs the metal delivered.

What is 5052 equivalent to?

5754. Equivalents are approximate, never identical — compare the certificate against your specification before substituting.
