Specialist tempers such as F, H116, H112, and H141 are also possible in 5052 – refer to standards for details. 5052 aluminum alloy metal Physical Properties Alloy Density (kg/m3) Elastic Modulus (GPa) Mean Coefficient of Thermal Expansion 20-100°C (m/m/°C) Thermal Conductivity at 25°C (W/m.K) Electrical Conductivity MS/m at 20°C Electrical Resistivity (n.m) Equal Volume Equal Mass 5052 2680 70 23.8 138 20 67 50 5052 aluminum alloy Grade Specification Comparison Alloy UNS No ISO BS DIN No Name 5052 A95052 AlMg2.5 L80, L81 3.3523 AlMg2.5 These comparisons are approximate only. The list is intended as a comparison of functionally similar materials, not as a schedule of contractual equivalents. If exact equivalents are needed original specifications must be consulted. Possible Alternative Alloys Alloy Why it might be chosen instead of 5052 3003 Brighter appearance required, particularly when considering treadplate. 5005 Bright (decorative) anodizing finish is required. 5083 Higher strength or improved corrosion resistance is required, particularly for ship hull applications.
