Aluminium 5005 is a non-heat-treatable alloy that mainly consists of aluminium (about 97.5%) and has magnesium content between 0.5% and 1.1%, along with small amounts of iron, silicon, copper, and other elements. It’s well-regarded for its excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine settings, and its good weldability. The mechanical properties include a tensile strength ranging from 145 to 190 MPa and a yield strength of around 110 MPa, with elongation reaching up to 12%. This alloy offers moderate strength and a superior surface finish, making it ideal for various structural and decorative forging applications.

Aluminum 5005 offers excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability, formability, and moderate strength, making it ideal for custom forgings in architectural and marine applications, while providing a smooth, aesthetic finish.
Aluminum 5005 is not ideal for high-temperature forging applications. It has moderate strength and good corrosion resistance but lacks the high-temperature stability needed for forging processes.
Aluminium 5005 forgings are a go-to choice in industries that need a mix of strength, formability, and corrosion resistance. You’ll often find them in architectural cladding, roofing, and signage, thanks to their fantastic anodizing finish. They’re also popular in marine hardware, automotive trim, kitchen appliances, and electrical enclosures. This alloy shines in tough outdoor conditions, making it perfect for coastal and marine uses. At Starc Metals, our Aluminium 5005 forgings are often selected for custom-engineered components where consistent performance, aesthetic appeal, and structural reliability are crucial across transportation, infrastructure, and industrial manufacturing sectors.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
