Aluminium alloy 5005 is a medium strength alloy with very good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and very good weldability that is highly suitable for decorative anodising.

Applications - Alloy 5005 is typically used for:
Buildings – Roofing, Cladding, Corrugated Sheet
Signage, Road Signs & Name Plates
Food & Chemical Equipment
Furniture
Anodised Parts
HVAC Equipment
Packaging
Pipe and Tube
Can Bodies

Temper Types

The most common tempers for 5005 aluminium are:

  • 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

Supplied Forms

  • Sheet
