1/8" 5052 Aluminum Plate. this is a Heavy duty .125 x 24" long and 24" wide Aluminum sheet Metal. This has uses for many applications such as Automobile repair, Boat repair, Aircraft. Home Projects, Craft and Hobby, Industrial and Commercial Projects, and much more. This is a good welding product and bends well with the right equipment. Best all around Aluminum Metal. Aluminum alloy 5052 contains nominally 2.5% magnesium, 0.25% chromium and has good workability, medium static strength, high fatigue strength, good weldability, and very good corrosion resistance, especially in marine atmospheres. 5052 (276 MPa VS. 193 MPa), showing both its increased strength and its formability issues. ... 5052 aluminum has a higher modulus of elasticity than 6061 aluminum (70.3 GPa VS. 68.9 GPa), which explains why it excels as a forming alloy. If you looking for an Aluminum sheet that performs well in all aspects this is the material.
