What is aluminum coil grade 5005 ?

5005 alloy aluminum coil belongs to 5000 series alloy aluminum coil. 5005 aluminum coil of HuaWei Alu is certificated to ASTM, EN as well as JIS, etc. and it can be cut to size at customers’ need. Mg is the principal element in the 5005 aluminum coil and when it used as main alloying element or combined with Mn, high strength and no-heat treatable properties can be realized. 5005 aluminumcoil ofHuaWei Alu. has many tempers available, such as 5005-H12, 5005-H14, 5005-H16, 5005-H18,5005-H22, 5005-H24, 5005-H32, 5005-H34, 5005-H36, 5005-H38, etc.

Aluminium alloy 5005 contains nominally 0.8% magnesium. It has medium strength, good weldability, and good corrosion resistance in marine atmospheres. It also has the low density and excellent thermal conductivity common to all aluminium alloys. It is the most commonly used grade of aluminium in coil and coil form.

Aluminium alloy 5005 is a lean aluminium magnesium alloy which can be hardened by cold work: it is not heat treatable to higher strength.

General Features

5005 is a non-heat treatable alloy with magnesium content. It can be strengthened (hardened) by cold working. It scores well in weld-ability, formability, and corrosion resistance (especially when anodized).

Forming

5005 has excellent formability, especially in softer tempers.

Welding

5005 alloy is noted for excellent welding characteristics. When 5005 material will be welded and then anodized

Machining

5005 machinability is generally fairly poor . Soft 5005 tempers machine worse than harder tempers. 5005 H34 and 5005 H38 can be machined, but with much more difficulty than many other aluminium alloys.

Application of 5005 alloy aluminium sheet roll

5005l aluminum coil strength and 3003 equivalent, weld metal, good workability 5005 aluminum plate and 3003 alloy similar, with moderate strength and good corrosion resistance. Anodic oxide film is more bright than the oxide film on the 3003 alloy, and is consistent with the tone of the 6063 alloy.

5005 aluminum coil is also a non-heat treatable alloy and it can be strengthened (hardened) by cold working. However, hot working should not normally be necessary. Besides, it scores well in formability, especially in softer tempers. The machinability of 5005 aluminum coil is generally fairly poor. 5005-H34 and 5003-H38 can be machined, but with much more difficult than many other aluminum alloys.

The main content of 5005 aluminium coil is Fe, Mg and Si, thus, it has good weld-ability and resistance to correction (especially when anodized), which resulting in suitable for marine applications. 5005 aluminium coil is also a non-heat treatable alloy and it can be strengthened (hardened) by cold working. However, hot working should not normally be necessary. Besides, it scores well in formability, especially in softer tempers.

Alloy 5005 Aluminium coil is typically used for:

  • Buildings – Roofing, Cladding, Corrugated coil
  • Signage, Road Signs & Name Plates
  • Food & Chemical Equipment
  • Furniture
  • Anodised Parts
  • HVAC Equipment
  • Packaging
  • Pipe and Tube
  • Can Bodies

Commonly used in the manufacture of appliances, small boats, gas lines, refrigerator panels, and utensils. 5005 is also used in architectural components, and as an electrical conductor. Especially useful where excessive finishing costs are encountered in the use of 3003 alloys due to surface roughness upon drawing.
