5052 Aluminum Strip with Custom Slit Widths

5052 aluminum strip is a magnesium-alloy aluminum product supplied in narrow coil form after slitting from wider parent coils. It is selected for applications where corrosion resistance, formability and consistent strip dimensions are important to the manufacturing process.

At Haomei, we process 5052 aluminum coils into slit strips according to the required thickness, width, temper and winding configuration. Instead of supplying only standard coil dimensions, we work with customer drawings and processing specifications to prepare strip material for downstream stamping, forming and component production.

Depending on the intended application, the supplied coil can be configured with specified slit widths, inner diameter, outer diameter and packaging requirements.

For the wider parent material, see 5052 Aluminum Coil. For flat sheet products, visit 5052 Aluminum Sheet.

5052 Aluminum Strip Tempers: O, H32 and H34

For slit strip applications, temper selection is closely related to the forming process and required mechanical properties. Haomei offers 5052-O, H32 and H34 options, subject to material availability and the confirmed order specification.

Temper Material Characteristics Typical Considerations
5052-O Fully annealed, softer condition Applications requiring greater forming flexibility
5052-H32 Strain-hardened and stabilized condition Applications balancing strength and formability
5052-H34 Higher work-hardened condition than H32 Applications requiring a higher strength level

The appropriate temper depends on strip thickness, forming depth, bending requirements and the mechanical properties specified for the finished component. See the 5052-H32 vs. H34 temper guide for a more detailed comparison.

Applications of 5052 Slit Aluminum Strip

Continuous Stamping and Metal Components

5052 aluminum strip can be supplied for continuous stamping and the production of formed metal components. Specified strip width and material temper help match the feeding and forming requirements of the production line.

Electrical Equipment and Enclosures

In selected electrical equipment applications, 5052 slit strip is used for fabricated brackets, enclosure components and other formed parts where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency are relevant.

Marine and General Industrial Components

Due to its corrosion resistance, 5052 aluminum is also used in marine hardware and industrial components. Slit strip can be considered where the required component dimensions and forming process suit the material's temper and thickness.

Fuel and Storage Tanks

5052 alloy is used in fuel-related equipment and storage tanks where corrosion resistance and formability are relevant. Narrow strip is considered for selected formed components and parts made through continuous or repeatable processes.

Marine and Boat Hardware

5052 aluminum is used in marine hardware and selected boat components. Strip material may be suitable for formed brackets, fittings and other parts when the specified temper, thickness and design requirements are appropriate.

Architectural and Automotive Panels

5052 is used in selected architectural and automotive sheet-metal components, panels, brackets and enclosures. Slit strip can serve component lines that require a defined feed width or repeated forming operation.

For cable manufacturers: 5052 aluminum strip may be considered for selected cable-related applications, depending on cable construction, thickness and mechanical requirements. For application-specific material and processing information, visit our dedicated Aluminum Strip for Cable Armoring page.
