Aluminium 5005 forgings are primarily made up of aluminium (about 97.5%) with magnesium (0.5–1.1%) as the main alloying element, along with small amounts of iron, silicon, and other elements. This alloy is celebrated for its good corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and atmospheric settings, and it boasts excellent weldability along with moderate strength. Typical mechanical properties include a tensile strength ranging from 145 to 190 MPa, a yield strength of 110 MPa, and an elongation of up to 20%. Aluminium 5005 is also appreciated for its smooth surface finish and its ability to anodise beautifully, making it perfect for both functional and decorative uses.

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.
You’ll find Aluminium 5005 forgings in various applications that demand moderate strength, exceptional corrosion resistance, and a polished surface finish. In the architectural field, it’s commonly used for curtain walls, cladding panels, roofing sheets, and decorative trim. The alloy is also a great fit for marine applications, such as boat fittings and structural components, thanks to its resistance to saltwater corrosion. In the electrical industry, 5005 is utilized for cable sheathing and conductor bars due to its good conductivity. Plus, it’s found in appliances, signage, and more!
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
