    CNC machining
Aluminum 5052 alloy, which is rich in magnesium, possesses a relatively high strength akin to other alloys in the 5000-series. It can be significantly hardened through cold working, allowing for the creation of various “H” tempers. However, it is not responsive to heat treatment. Notably, it exhibits good corrosion resistance, particularly against saltwater.

Aluminum 5052 CNC Machining Applications & Parts

Aluminum 5052 is the highest strength alloy of the non-heat-treatable grades, with outstanding fatigue strength and excellent corrosion resistance, especially to salt water. It is highly formable and weldable.

Typical Parts We Machine from 5052:

  • Marine Hardware: Marine fixtures, fuel tanks, hull plates, boat gangways
  • Electronic Enclosures: Chassis, cases, and shields for electronics
  • General Fabrication: Sheet metal parts, panels, tanks, and pressure vessels

Our Machining Advantage:

We carefully control machining parameters to prevent burrs and ensure clean edges on this ductile alloy, resulting in parts ready for forming or welding with high structural integrity.
