5005 aluminum sheet

What is 5005 aluminum alloy?

5005 aluminum sheet belongs to 5 series Al-Mg alloy, but the main alloy Mg content is lower than other 5 series alloys, containing 0.8% magnesium, so its corrosion resistance is slightly higher than 3 series alloys;

5005 aluminum alloy is an aluminum alloy that is resistant to atmospheric corrosion. It is used in decorative and architectural applications;

5005 aluminum sheet is a medium-strength aluminum alloy sheet that can be cold worked to achieve medium-high strength. It has good formability and is suitable for applications that require bending, spinning, drawing, stamping, and roll forming. It is typically used in applications that require anodizing.

Compared with other aluminum alloy series, it has higher welding strength, workability and corrosion resistance.

It also has the low density and excellent thermal conductivity common to aluminum alloys. It is the most commonly used sheet and sheet form of aluminium.

The performance of 5005 aluminum alloy is similar to that of 3 series 3003 aluminum alloy, with moderate strength, good fusion, workability and formability, but its anodic oxidation effect is better than 3003 aluminum alloy, and the oxide film is brighter, and can reach the same level as 6063 alloy. color! Therefore, 5005 aluminum sheet is often used in high-end wide-width curtain wall panels, architectural decorations, automotive interior materials, instrument panels, oxidized materials, cookware, conductors, etc.

Note that although alloy 5005 is suitable for anodizing, streaks may occur.

5005 Aluminum Sheet Properties

Common Tempers For 5005 Aluminium Sheet

H34 – Stabilised – A low temperature thermal treatment or heat introduced during manufacture which stabilises the mechanical properties and relieves residual internal stress, plus usually improves ductility.
Tempers H116 and H321 can be used in fresh and salt water.

Special Features About 5005 Aluminum Sheet

Corrosion Resistance

5005 aluminum sheet has the same high corrosion resistance as other non-heat treatable aluminum alloys. It also has high resistance to weak alkaline conditions common to 5000 series alloys.
The atmospheric corrosion resistance of 5005 is similar to that of 3003.

When anodizing is used to improve corrosion resistance, the film on 5005 is clearer than that on 3003 Aluminum Sheet, and the color matching with 6063 architectural profiles is better.

The corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys depends on the protective oxide film on the surface. When damaged, the rapid reaction of aluminum and oxygen can be easily repaired.
But if the film cannot be repaired, the high reactivity of base metals can lead to rapid corrosion, so aluminum alloys are not suitable for use with reducing media.

Good Machinability

5005 can be easily handled by conventional methods. It should be processed at high speed and fully lubricated to avoid thermal deformation of the workpiece. Sharp tools are essential.
High speed steel or tungsten carbide can be used. The cut should be deep and continuous, and the cutting speed should be high. Woodworking machinery may be suitable for short-term jobs.

High Weld Strength

5005 can be easily soldered by standard techniques. Usually tungsten gas arc welding (TIG) or gas shielded welding (MIG) welding. Aluminum must be very dry and clean to avoid weld contamination and porosity.
Use filler metal 1100, 4043 or 4047. 4043 is the most crack resistant. Use 1188 fill metal for best color matching. The shielding gas must be dry and free of hydrogen.

Heat Treatment Properties

Aluminum 5005 is annealed at 345°C, the time and cooling rate at this temperature are not critical. Stress relief is rarely required, but can be done at around 220°C, if there is concern about strength loss, a stress relief test should be performed.

Standard Of 5005 Aluminum Sheet

5005 is the Aluminum Association (AA) designation for this material. In European standards, it will be given as EN AW-5005. AlMg1(B) is the EN chemical designation. N41 is the British Standard (BS) designation. And A95005 is the UNS number.
It has been in use since 1935, but has only received its standard designation in 1954.

Production Notes

Aluminum 5005 is generally not hot worked. It is easily cold formed in the annealed condition because it is a relatively soft and ductile alloy. Forming loads and tool and press wear are generally less than carbon steel. For punching and blanking, the punch to die clearance should be approximately 6% of the thickness of each side in H32 and H34 conditions. Sharp tools are required.
