Polished Easy-to-Weld 5052 Aluminum Sheets and Bars


- Yield Strength: 20,000 psi
- Temper: H32 (1/4 Hard)
- Fabrication: Cold Rolled
- Specifications Met: ASTM B209
One side of these sheets and bars is polished to either a brushed finish or a mirror-like finish. The polished side is covered with a protective, peel-off film. Known for being one of the easiest types of aluminum to weld, 5052 is also recognized for its ability to resist salt water. It's widely used for the bodies of boats, buses, trucks, and trailers, as well as for chemical drums.
Brushed sheets and bars are polished to a #4 satin finish with grain lines running in one direction to mask fingerprints.
Mirror-like sheets and bars are polished to a #8 reflective finish and are free of grain lines.
