Cascadia Metals supplies Grade 5052 Aluminum to the metals marketplace. Aluminum is a silvery-white, soft, nonmagnetic, ductile metal and is the most widely used non-ferrous metal in the world.

Grade 5052 Aluminum is comprised of 97.25% aluminum, 2.5% magnesium and 0.25% chromium. When magnesium is used as the major alloying element, the result is a moderate to high strength non-heat treatable aluminum alloy. 5052 is far stronger than the 1100 or 3000 series aluminums, yet forms with reasonable bend radii. Weldability is very good and 5052 has good resistance to corrosion, especially in salt-water / marine atmospheres.

Benefits

• Light Weight trim weight and possibly cost
• Corrosion Resistance superior, especially in salt-water and marine atmospheres
• Aesthetics contemporary, authentic and natural
• Conductivity ideal for use where heat is involved
• Workability easily machined, formed, welded and forged
