At Panchdeep Metal Corporation, we take pride in calling ourselves a trusted 5052 aluminium supplier in India, and over the years we have seen a steady rise in demand for this grade because it handles tough service conditions without fuss. We manufacture and supply 5052 aluminium sheet, plate and coil products for clients who need steady performance, predictable strength and bulk availability. Our team keeps the stock moving quickly. Fast delivery matters.
5052 Aluminium Sheets & Plates Supplier in India
Aluminium Alloy 5052 belongs to the magnesium-rich alloy family. It carries magnesium as the main added element, which gives it strong corrosion resistance next to reliable formability that fabricators appreciate during deep drawing, rolling or shaping work. The alloy is often labelled as a marine-grade choice, and that comes from the way it resists saltwater attack for long service spans. It builds strength without making fabrication harder.
Industries use it in transportation, marine structures, chemical equipment, general engineering and even consumer goods where weight needs to stay low. We offer 5052 aluminium sheet, plate and coil formats in a wide range of tempers so designers or project engineers can select what fits their work. Our stock arrives in coils for high-volume use, wider plates for tanks and structures, and sheets for general fabrications required by OEMs and workshops across India.

Processing & Workability of AA5052 Aluminium
Sometimes the first thing engineers ask us about is how 5052 behaves under bending or rolling, because a large share of projects involve curved panels, expanded surfaces or intricate presswork. The alloy bends smoothly in the O temper. It bends fairly well in H32. That makes it handy for components that need soft curves rather than sharp fractures. Many workshops run it through rollers for cylindrical shapes or segments of tanks, and it holds the curve without springing back too much.
The next part is machining. 5052 aluminium machinability falls in the middle range: not too soft to clog tools, not too tough to cause chatter. Cutting tools with the right feed rate produce a clean finish, especially when the sheet or plate is clamped firmly. Stamping also works well; many manufacturers prefer it because the alloy’s ductility in softer tempers lets the tools create deeper impressions with fewer rejects.
Its weldability is a real advantage. Gas welding, MIG and TIG are all common, and welders often report minimal voids when parameters are set correctly. The heat-affected zone stays stable. Cold working can increase strength a little and bring the material into different tempers, giving more flexibility to designers who want a specific hardness or yield strength. The alloy responds without becoming brittle.

Hot-Rolled 5052 Plate

Cold-Rolled 5052 Sheet

5052 Aluminium Coil

Patterned Sheet

5052 Chequered Plate

Anodised 5052 Sheet
5052 Aluminium Sheets, Plates & Coils Specifications
Below is the standard specification range we offer as a 5052 aluminium supplier and stockist.
| Product Form | Standards | Thickness Range | Width | Length / Coil Specs | Tempers |
| 5052 Aluminium Sheet | ASTM B209, EN 485 | 0.5 mm-6 mm | 1000-2000 mm | 2000-6000 mm | O, H32, H34, H111 |
| 5052 Aluminium Plate | ASTM B209, EN 485 | 6 mm-150 mm | 1000-2500 mm | Custom cut | H32, H34, H112 |
| 5052 Aluminium Coil | ASTM B209, EN 485 | 0.5 mm-6 mm | Up to 1500 mm | Coil ID 508/610 mm, OD as required | O, H32, H34 |
Engineers often check 5052 sheet specifications before finalising material because thickness and temper matter for impact strength and bending behaviour.
Chemical Composition of AA5052
The chemical composition of Alloy AA5052 includes magnesium, chromium, copper, silicon and traces of other elements. Here is the standard composition:
| Element | Percentage (%) |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 2.2-2.8 |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.25 |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.40 |
| Copper (Cu) | ≤ 0.10 |
| Manganese (Mn) | ≤ 0.10 |
| Chromium (Cr) | 0.15-0.35 |
| Zinc (Zn) | ≤ 0.10 |
| Titanium (Ti) | ≤ 0.05 |
| Aluminium (Al) | Balance |
The magnesium level plays the biggest role in enhancing corrosion resistance, especially where metal meets salt-laden moisture or marine vapours. That margin of Mg helps the alloy survive aggressive conditions without needing heavy coatings.
Mechanical Properties of Aluminium 5052 Sheets / Plates / Coils
Strength values for 19000 aluminium change with temper and thickness. Soft tempers carry lower strength but excellent forming capacity, while harder tempers show a moderate rise in strength.
| Property | O Temper | H32 Temper | H34 Temper |
| Tensile Strength (MPa) | 193 | 228 | 262 |
| Yield Strength (MPa) | 89 | 193 | 221 |
| Elongation (%) | 25-30 | 10-12 | 8-10 |
| Hardness (HB) | 47 | 60 | 68 |
These values show how 5052 mechanical properties fit the needs of marine equipment, fuel tanks, pressure enclosures and transportation panels. Its strength-to-weight ratio helps keep structures light. Its toughness helps when parts face vibration or light impact. And this balance brings reliability.
Applications of Aluminium Alloy 5052
Below are some common uses of the grade:
- Marine parts, boat hulls and small craft components
- Fuel tanks for vehicles, boats and generators
- Pressure vessels and storage equipment
- HVAC fins and heat-transfer components
- Panels, coverings and enclosures
- Consumer electronics housings
- Automotive body panels and structural supports
- Chemical plant trays and equipment
Its performance in saltwater zones explains why marine-grade 5052 stays in demand. The alloy holds up well where moisture and airborne salts compete for space on exposed metal surfaces.
5052 Aluminium Equivalent Grades
| Standard | Equivalent Grade |
| EN | EN AW-5052 |
| UNS | A95052 |
| ASTM | 5052 (ASTM B209) |
| JIS | H4000 / 5052 |
| ISO | 5052 Alloy |
These equivalencies help engineers follow regional drawing standards without second-guessing compatibility.
Available Sizes & Surface Finish Options
We supply 5052 sheet sizes and plates in a wide range which, in a way, helps projects to avoid unnecessary cutting losses. Thickness starts around 0.5 mm for sheets and goes up to nearly 150 mm for plates. Width options go from narrow strips to full sheets crossing the 2-meter mark. Lengths often run from 2 meters to 6 meters, though we cut to size whenever possible to save fabrication time.
Coils follow standard IDs of 508 or 610 mm, and OD varies depending on coil weight. Surface finishes include plain mill finish for general use, anodised surfaces for better weather performance, and PVC-coated material for protection during transport or fabrication.

FAQ
What is a 5052 aluminium sheet used for?
It is used in marine structures, fuel tanks, panels, enclosures and any application needing corrosion resistance and good formability.
What is aluminium 5052 grade?
It is a magnesium-rich aluminium alloy with strong corrosion resistance, moderate strength and excellent formability.
Is 5052 aluminium better than stainless steel?
Both serve different purposes. 5052 is lighter, more formable and often better for marine use, while stainless steel carries higher strength but adds weight.
