5052 aluminum alloy belongs to the 5000 series alloy. The main element added is magnesium, about 3-5%. So, it is also called the aluminum magnesium alloy. The main character of 5052 aluminum alloy is low density, high tensile strength, high elongation and non-heat-treatable.

5052 aluminum alloy does not contain any copper, which means that it is not susceptible to salt water corrosion as other aluminum alloys. It belongs to stainless-treated aluminum alloys and is also the perfect choice for shipbuilding.
