5005 h34 aluminum sheet plate

What is 5005 H34 aluminum?

5005-H34 aluminum alloy refers to the 5005 series aluminum alloy in the H34 temper. To achieve this temper, the aluminum alloy first undergoes a strain hardening process and is then stabilized to maintain its properties.

The strength of 5005 H34 aluminum alloy lies between that of the annealed (O) state and the full hard (H38) state.

In the annealed state, the aluminum alloy has lower strength but better workability and toughness.
The full hard state provides higher strength but may sacrifice some workability.

The 5005 H34 temper achieves a balance between strength and workability, offering higher strength than the annealed state while maintaining relatively good workability and toughness.

Processing of 5005 H34 Aluminum Sheet Plate

Strain Hardening: In this stage, 5005 aluminum alloy is made harder and stronger through cold working or mechanical deformation. This process changes the metal's lattice structure, thereby increasing its resistance to deformation and strength.

Stabilization Treatment: After strain hardening, the 5005 aluminum alloy undergoes stabilization treatment. This step, achieved through heat treatment or natural aging, reduces or eliminates internal stresses generated during strain hardening while maintaining a certain level of strength.
