5052 Aluminum Sheet & Plate

The supplier's 5052 coil strip listing publishes tempers H32, H34, H38, H111, H112, H114 and H0, a thickness range of 0.5–150 mm — the listing spans sheet into plate — mother coil in DC form, a clean and smooth surface, and about 2 tons per pallet in its packed format. The listing publishes two width figures in different places (a table range and a text range), so no single 5052 width figure governs: width is confirmed against the specific product form — coil, sheet or plate — in the quotation.

5052's published roles in this catalogue are consistent: it is the lighter marine grade (the marine grade plate listing is 5052/5083/5754), a precision plate alloy (the English site's precision plate page lists 5052 and 5083), a cap closure alloy on the English site's list, and one of the polished sheet alloys. For buyers choosing between the two big fabrication families, the 5052 vs 6061 guide compares this grade with the 6xxx alternative using the published data for both.

Because 5052 spans the sheet/plate boundary, the enquiry should name the form explicitly — coil, sheet or plate — with the thickness. A 5052 order at 1 mm and a 5052 order at 50 mm come from different listings in this catalogue, and the quotation is built from the listing that matches the form.

Ordering 5052

The single most important word in a 5052 enquiry is the form: coil, sheet or plate. The grade listing's 0.5–150 mm span crosses all three, and each form is quoted from its own listing — the grade page for coil-fed material, the hot rolled plate listing for plate, the marine grade programme for marine tempers. The second most important word is the temper: H32 and H34 are the common fabrication tempers in the published set, H111 and H112 belong to the plate and marine side, and H0 is the annealed option for severe forming. A message that reads '5052, H32, 2 mm sheet' or '5052, H111, 20 mm plate, cut sizes attached' can be quoted directly; '5052, best price' cannot.

For marine fabrication, read the 5052 grade data together with the marine plate programme: the full marine alloy group, and the certification position — this site claims no class certification for the plate. For the 5xxx/6xxx decision, the comparison guide works through the choice from the published data.
