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.
