Aluminum 5052 Small Diameter Tubing

Aluminum 5052 Small Diameter Tubing

High-Strength, Corrosion-Resistant Tubing for Demanding Applications — from International Tube

At International Tube, we manufacture precision Aluminum 5052 small diameter tubing (UNS A95052), a high-strength, non-heat-treatable aluminum-magnesium alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, exceptional weldability, and good fatigue strength. Engineered for performance in both marine and industrial environments, Aluminum 5052 is ideal for applications requiring strength, formability, and long-term durability.

Containing approximately 2.5% magnesium and 0.25% chromium, Alloy 5052 delivers significantly higher strength than 1100 or 3003 aluminum, while still retaining good workability. Its outstanding resistance to saltwater, chemicals, and atmospheric corrosion makes it a popular choice in marine, fuel system, and structural applications.
