About 5005 aluminum sheet plate
5005 aluminum sheet is an Al-Mg alloy with good atmospheric corrosion resistance. It is used in decorative and architectural applications.
It is a member of the 5000 series of aluminum-magnesium wrought alloys. Therefore, it is not used for casting. It can be cold worked to obtain medium to high strength, and has relatively high welding strength compared with other aluminum alloy series. Hardness H116 and H321 can be used in fresh and salt water.

5005 aluminum sheet has good corrosion resistance and good weldability. It is easily anodized and is commonly used in the marine, automotive, aerospace, appliance and construction industries.
The strength of 5005 aluminum sheet is equivalent to that of 3003 aluminum, with good weldability and good processability. 5005 aluminum sheet is similar to 3003 alloy, with medium strength and good corrosion resistance. The anodic oxide film is brighter than the oxide film on the 3003 alloy, and is consistent with the tone of the 6063 alloy.

The characteristics of 5005 aluminum sheet plate
Alloy 5005 is a non-heat-treatable 0.8% magnesium alloy commonly available in flat rolled coil, sheet and plate from a wide range of producing mills. The 5000 series aluminum alloy have a high strengths because of the magnesium addition; 5005 has only a very small addition of magnesium so is the least strength of these series of alloys. The alloy is hardenable to a significant degree by cold working, enabling a series of “H” tempers but again these do not achieve the high strengths of corresponding tempers in other alloys such as 5052 or 5083.
Corrosion Resistance
Excellent in a wide range of atmospheric environments, in architectural applications. The magnesium content is low enough that it does not suffer from the stress corrosion cracking that can affect alloys with more than about 3½% Mg, such as 5083.

Heat Treatment
Alloy 5005 is not hardenable by heat treatment. It can be significantly hardened by cold work (eg by cold rolling) and various “H” tempers are produced – most commonly H32 (¼ Hard) and H34 (½ Hard) – as well as the soft annealed Temper O condition.
The alloy spontaneously age-softens at room temperature immediately after cold work but will eventually reach a stable condition; all flat rolled mill products are supplied with stable properties. This is usually achieved by a stabilisation thermal treatment, either a low temperature thermal treatment or as a result of heat introduced during rolling, which results in the H3x tempers. H2x tempers are more severely strain hardened and then partially annealed, again to quickly reach the required stable temper properties.
To soften Alloy 5005 it can be annealed by heating to 345°C, hold until uniform temperature then cool; the rate of cooling is not important.
Anodising
All aluminium alloys can be anodised to improve corrosion resistance, but decorative anodising is only carried out on a few alloys. The most commonly decoratively anodised non-heat-treatable alloy is 5005. It is produced as a special “anodising quality” (AQ) but Atlas does not stock this product. It is most common and usually successful for general purpose quality (non-AQ) to be anodised; this can however result in some visually inconsistent anodising outcomes and in severe cases in “tiger stripe” appearance. It is always recommended that anodising performance be tested by trialling a piece from a batch of sheet.
When anodised, film on 5005 is clearer and lighter than on 3003 aluminum sheet plate and gives better colour match with 6061 aluminum sheet architectural extrusions.
Welding
Excellent weldability by all standard methods; gas, electric and resistance welding. Filler alloys are usually 4043 although other alloys are possible. Welding of strain hardened tempers will reduce strengths in the heat affected zones.
Machining
Machinability is poor, with the harder tempers such as H34 and above being somewhat easier to machine.
Typical Applications
Electrical conductor wire, cooking utensils, appliances and widely used as sheet in architectural applications.

5005 aluminum sheet packaging
- 1. Carry out paper clipping or film coating on the aluminum sheet to ensure that the surface of the aluminum sheet is intact without scratches;
- 2. Plastic or kraft paper wrapping is used to prevent moisture and rain to ensure that the aluminum sheet is clean and free of dirt during transportation (each package has a moisture-proof desiccant to ensure the quality of our products in the rainy East and South China regions);
- 3. Install wooden pallets and reinforce them with steel belts to avoid collisions during transportation and ensure that the geometric shape of the aluminum plates remains unchanged;
- 4. Export products are packed in wooden boxes and brackets with fumigation marks;
- 5. Pack according to other packaging requirements of customers;
Casting production process and its introduction
The purpose of melting and casting is to produce alloys with satisfactory composition and high purity of melt, so as to create favorable conditions for casting alloys of various shapes.
Melting and casting process steps: batching --- feeding --- melting --- stirring after melting, slag removal --- pre-analysis sampling --- adding alloy to adjust the composition, stirring --- refining --- static Setting——Guide furnace casting.
Hot rolling production process and its introduction
- 1. Hot rolling generally refers to rolling above the metal recrystallization temperature;
- 2. During the hot rolling process, the metal has both hardening and softening processes. Due to the influence of deformation speed, as long as the recovery and recrystallization process is too late, there will be a certain work hardening;
- 3. The recrystallization of the metal after hot rolling is incomplete, that is, the coexistence of recrystallized structure and deformed structure;
- 4. Hot rolling can improve the processing performance of metals and alloys, reduce or eliminate casting defects.
- 1. The casting and rolling temperature is generally between 680°C and 700°C. The lower the better, the stable casting and rolling line usually stops once a month or more to re-stand. During the production process, it is necessary to strictly control the liquid level of the front tank to prevent low liquid level;
- 2. Lubrication uses C powder with incomplete combustion of gas for lubrication, which is also one of the reasons for the dirty surface of casting and rolling materials;
- 3. The production speed is generally between 1.5m/min-2.5m/min;
- 4. The surface quality of products produced by casting and rolling is generally relatively low, and generally cannot meet products with special physical and chemical performance requirements.
- 1. Cold rolling refers to the rolling production method below the recrystallization temperature;
- 2. There will be no dynamic recrystallization during the rolling process, and the temperature will rise to the recovery temperature at most, and the cold rolling will appear in a work hardening state, and the work hardening rate will be large;
- 3. The cold-rolled sheet and strip have high dimensional accuracy, good surface quality, uniform structure and performance, and products in various states can be obtained with heat treatment;
- 4. Cold rolling can roll out thin strips, but at the same time, it has the disadvantages of high energy consumption for deformation and many processing passes.
- 1. Finishing is a processing method to make the cold-rolled sheet meet the customer's requirements, or to facilitate the subsequent processing of the product;
- 2. The finishing equipment can correct the defects produced in the hot rolling and cold rolling production process, such as cracked edge, oily, poor plate shape, residual stress, etc. It needs to ensure that no other defects are brought into the production process;
- 3. There are various finishing equipments, mainly including cross-cutting, slitting, stretching and straightening, annealing furnace, slitter, etc.
