5005 Aluminum Coil
5005 aluminum coil is an aluminum-magnesium alloy material, widely used in construction, decoration, and industrial manufacturing.
5005 aluminum coil has good overall performance and a relatively moderate price. It not only has high strength and excellent forming performance, but also possesses good corrosion resistance and weldability. Notably, its anodizing effect is brighter than 3003 alloy and can achieve an aesthetically coordinated color tone consistent with 6063 alloy.
5005 aluminum coil belongs to the 5000 series aluminum alloys. It is a medium-strength aluminum alloy suitable for applications requiring bending, spinning, stretching, stamping, and rolling forming. It is commonly used in applications requiring anodizing treatment.
In addition to sheets, 5005 aluminum alloy is also available in coil form. It is resistant to atmospheric corrosion, can achieve high strength through cold working, and has good weldability.
5005 Aluminum Coil Common Specifications
The specifications of 5005 aluminum coil cover a wide range and can be customized according to requirements:
- Thickness: The common range is usually between 0.2mm and 10.0mm (some manufacturers can provide a thicker range).
- Width: The range is wide, commonly from 20mm to 2650mm.
- Length: Coils are usually non-standard in length. Sheet lengths can be customized according to requirements, for example, 500mm to 16, 000mm.
5005 Aluminum Coil Temper Standards
5005 O Aluminum Coil
O temper is the softest grade of 5005 aluminum alloy, with excellent formability and bending performance. It is very suitable for applications requiring high ductility and superior corrosion resistance, such as decorative panels, roofing, and interior building components.
5005 H32 Aluminum Coil
H32 temper is a 1/4 hard alloy that has undergone strain hardening and stabilization treatment, offering a balanced combination of strength and flexibility. It is very suitable for medium-strength structural applications, roofing, wall panels, and automotive interior applications that require additional mechanical strength without compromising workability.
5005 H34 Aluminum Coil
H34 temper is a 1/2 hard alloy that has undergone low-temperature stabilization treatment, optimized to achieve a precise balance between mechanical strength and ductility. It is suitable for exterior wall panels, architectural cladding, and applications requiring medium strength and excellent corrosion resistance.

5005 Aluminum Coil Selection Recommendations
- If your product requires good formability (e.g., deep drawing, bending), O temper (annealed) is recommended.
- If the product requires a combination of strength and formability, H2X (e.g., H24) or H3X (e.g., H34) tempers may be suitable.
- If higher strength and hardness are required, H1X (e.g., H18) temper can be considered.
- For exterior parts requiring anodizing, 5005 aluminum coil is a highly recommended option.
