Aluminum sheet metal comes in a variety of thicknesses and weights in many different grades.
Buy 5005 aluminum alloy sheet.
It is not heat treatable to higher strength.
Architects often specify 5005 alloy for anodized aluminum architectural metalwork.
It is important to note that anodizing is a critical part.
Ryerson offers heat treatable aluminum sheet grades like the popular 6061 aluminum alloy that can be used for commercial applications that require strength corrosion resistance and machinability as well as non heat treatable grades when formability and weldability are priorities.
What is aluminium alloy 5005.
It has medium strength good weldability and good corrosion resistance in marine atmospheres.
Aluminum 5005 is a lean aluminum magnesium alloy with low density and excellent thermal conductivity.
Aluminium alloy 5005 is a lean aluminium magnesium alloy which can be hardened by cold work.
Anodized aluminum sheet 5005 black is normally used for structural architectural appliances food and beverage furniture marine and ornamental applications.
It is the most commonly used grade of aluminium in sheet and plate form.
It also has the low density and excellent thermal conductivity common to all aluminium alloys.
The colored anodized layer means that the color is part of the metal and so will not chip flake or peel like paint it is.
Both have a smooth semi shiny finish and is popular for many applications.
5005 h34 sheet aluminium alloy 5005 is a medium strength alloy with very good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and very good weldability that is highly suitable for decorative anodising.
This medium strength non heat treatable alloy is known for its corrosion resistance in alkaline marine situations.
It also has the low density and excellent thermal conductivity common to all aluminium alloys.
Please note that whilst alloy 5005 is suitable for anodising streaks can occur if the finish you are seeking is critical please specify special.
Austral wright metals aluminium sheet and aluminium plate are made by the direct chill dc casting method followed by hot rolling cold rolling and finish operations eg slitting cutting to length blank etc.
5005 colored anodized sheet is visually attractive extremely corrosion resistant lightweight and durable.
Austral wright metals can supply this alloy as plate sheet and strip.
Aluminum 5005 is readily machinable and can be welded using tig and mig methods.
Aluminium alloy 5005 nominally contains 0 8 magnesium.
The alloy you choose for your aluminum sheet naturally depends on your application.
It has medium strength good weldability and good corrosion resistance in marine atmospheres.
Aluminium alloy 5005 nominally contains 0 8 magnesium.
