Polished Easy-to-Weld 5052 Aluminum Sheets and Bars

Brushed

Mirror-Like

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.

Composite Fiber Aluminum Honeycomb Panels

Yield Strength: Not Rated
Hardness: Not Rated
Temper: Not Rated

An aluminum honeycomb core sandwiched between carbon fiber keeps these sheets strong yet lightweight. The carbon fiber facing gives you the same strength as a honeycomb panel that's entirely made from aluminum but without the weight. Compared to aramid honeycomb panels, these panels have better shear strength. These panels are often used in the automotive and aerospace industry in place of solid aluminum sheets thanks to their high strength-to-weight ratio.

Aluminum Perforated Sheets

Aluminum is lightweight. These sheets have good corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability.

Grade 5052 aluminum is more corrosion resistant than Grade 3003, and is good for use in saltwater environments. It’s also harder and stronger for greater wear resistance. It’s often used in storage tanks, pressure vessels, and marine applications.
