5005 Aluminum Plate
5005 Aluminum Plate: High-Performance Al-Mg Alloy for Structural & Marine Applications
5005 aluminum plate (UNS A95005) is a non-heat-treatable magnesium-alloyed aluminum sheet containing 0.5-1.1% Mg and ≤0.20% Cu, delivering 160 MPa tensile strength with exceptional corrosion resistance. Compliant with ASTM B209 and AMS 4026 standards, this H32-temper alloy achieves 11% elongation and 46 HV hardness, making it ideal for marine components, architectural cladding, and food packaging requiring ≤0.02 mm/year corrosion rates in pH 7-9 environments. Available in 0.1-120mm thickness (±0.08mm tolerance) with 201 W/m·K thermal conductivity for heat exchange systems.
