Kloeckner Metals sells 5049 aluminum sheet, a magnesium alloy with good hardness. Contact us today for a quote.
5049 aluminum sheet is a non-heat treatable aluminum. Its primary alloying element is magnesium which results in good hardness.
While this aluminum alloy is not heat treatable, it is work hardenable by cold forming, showing good strength and formability. This aluminum grade t is available in a range of tempers which increase the alloy’s overall strength at the expense of ductility.
It is seen in the marine, automotive, construction, and packaging industries.
Applications for this alloy include shipbuilding hulls and structures, packaging, tanks, and automotive parts.
It has good machinability.
It has good weldability.
It is not heat treatable.

ANSWER:
These alloys share magnesium as their primary alloying element, resulting in fairly similar mechanical properties. This aluminum sheet shows slightly better hardness than 5052 aluminum, whereas 5052 shows slightly higher strength.
ANSWER:
This alloy demonstrates a Brinell hardness range of 52 to 88.
