Aluminium Grades & Application

Process of Making Aluminium

Out of the non-heat-treatable grades, Alloy AA 5052 is one of the higher strength alloys with a fatigue strength that’s greater than most other aluminium grades. It has good resistance against marine and industrial atmospheres, as well as salt water corrosion. With its excellent workability, it can easily be drawn or formed into intricate shapes.
