5005 aluminum sheet is a typical aluminum-magnesium series alloy (5xxx series) known for its medium strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and outstanding anodizing surface finish.
5005 alloy aluminum sheet is a non-heat treatable rolled product supplied as either plate or coil and is the softest of the 5000 series alloys making this alloy very suitable for forming and welding. It has excellent corrosion resistance properties and is suitable for a broad range of applications.
RUIYI / RAYIWELL offers aluminum plates with a maximum width of up to 3800 mm and a maximum thickness of 250 mm, as well as plates as thin as 0.2 mm with widths up to 2650 mm, meeting a wide range of thickness and width requirements for various orders.

5005 Aluminum sheet
5005 Aluminum sheet with excellent formability, weldability, and anodising properties. 5052 Aluminium is A marine-grade alloy with higher strength and corrosion resistance, particularly suited for marine and automotive applications.
5052 aluminum sheet is a popular, corrosion-resistant alloy with 2.5% magnesium. Its excellent formability, weldability, and workability, makes it ideal for marine, automotive, food processing, and general sheet metal work, including tanks, signs, and cookware. It’s a non-heat-treatable alloy, often supplied in tempers like H32, offering good strength and bright finish suitable for painting or anodizing, though it’s not easily machined.
The primary difference between 5005 and 5052 lies in their magnesium (Mg) content, which directly influences strength, as shown in the following comparison:
| Element | 5005 Alloy | 5052 Alloy | Key Difference Analysis |
| Aluminum (Al) | Balance | Balance | Base metal for both alloys. |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 0.5% ~ 1.1% | 2.2% ~ 2.8% | The most critical difference. 5052’s higher Mg content gives it significantly higher strength. |
| Chromium (Cr) | ≤ 0.10% | 0.15% ~ 0.35% | 5052 contains more Cr, enhancing its stress corrosion resistance. |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 0.20% | ≤ 0.10% | Slightly higher limit in 5005. |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.30% | ≤ 0.25% | Similar low levels in both. |
| Copper (Cu) | ≤ 0.20% | ≤ 0.10% | Lower in 5052, beneficial for corrosion resistance. |
| Zinc (Zn) | ≤ 0.25% | ≤ 0.10% | Lower in 5052. |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.70% | ≤ 0.40% | Lower impurity limit in 5052. |
These alloys are specified in major international standards systems.
