5052 H34 Aluminum Sheet, Coil and Strip
Haomei Aluminum supplies 5052 H34 aluminum sheet, coil and strip for fabrication projects that require higher strength, dependable corrosion resistance and good weldability. As a non-heat-treatable aluminum-magnesium alloy, 5052 is widely selected for marine equipment, transportation components, architectural panels, tanks and general sheet metal work.
The H34 temper is a strain-hardened, stabilized condition that provides higher strength than H32, while retaining practical forming and fabrication characteristics for many industrial applications.

What is 5052 H34?
- 5052 Alloy: This is an aluminum-magnesium alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance (especially in marine environments), good weldability, and moderate strength. It cannot be heat-treated but can be strengthened through cold working.
- H34 Temper: The "H" series indicates strain hardening (cold working), and "H34" means the alloy has been strain-hardened and then partially annealed to achieve a half-hard temper. This balances strength and formability.

5052 H34 Aluminum Sheet
5052 H34 aluminum sheet is supplied as flat stock for cutting, bending, forming, fabrication, and general assembly. It is a practical choice when individual blanks or finished-size pieces are required rather than continuous coil feed. Standard sizes are available, while custom thickness, width, and length can be produced to suit the application.
For the full alloy range, tempers, specifications, and applications, visit our 5052 aluminum sheet page.
5052 H34 Aluminum Coil
5052 H34 aluminum coil is designed for continuous processing and is commonly used in roll forming, stamping, slitting, and cut-to-length production. Coil dimensions can be selected according to line width, required thickness, coil weight, and downstream processing conditions.
See our 5052 aluminum coil page for available specifications, supply options, and related product information.
5052 H34 Aluminum Strip
5052 H34 aluminum strip is slit from wider coil into narrower widths for applications that require consistent dimensions and reliable material feeding. Typical requirements include controlled strip width, clean slit edges, stable thickness, and repeatable performance during fabrication.

FAQ – 5052 H34 Aluminum
Is 5052 H34 aluminum stronger than H32?
Yes. 5052 H34 generally has higher strength than 5052 H32 because it has a greater degree of strain hardening. Actual mechanical properties depend on the applicable specification, thickness, and product form.
Can Haomei supply 5052 H34 aluminum in coil and strip?
Yes. Haomei can supply 5052 H34 in sheet, coil, and slit strip forms. Width, thickness, coil weight, and slit dimensions can be arranged according to the order requirements.
Can I buy 5052 H34 aluminum sheet in 4 x 8 ft size?
Yes. 4 x 8 ft is a commonly requested commercial sheet size for 5052 H34 aluminum. Availability depends on the required thickness, specification, quantity, and production schedule.
How is 5052 H34 aluminum sheet priced?
Pricing depends on the aluminum market, alloy and temper, thickness, sheet dimensions, order quantity, processing, packaging, and delivery destination. Haomei can provide a project-specific quotation based on your requirements.
Is 5052 H34 aluminum suitable for bending?
Yes, 5052 H34 can be formed and bent, but it is less ductile than softer 5052 tempers such as O or H32. The required bend radius, material thickness, and forming method should be considered when selecting the material.
What is the difference between 5052 H34 and 5052 H32?
Both are strain-hardened tempers of 5052 aluminum, but H34 generally provides higher strength and rigidity than H32. H32 may be preferred when greater forming or bending capability is needed, while H34 is useful where a higher strength level is required.
