Note: 5052
is an alloy which spontaneously softens after rolling until it
reaches a stable condition. The process is accelerated by means
of a stabilising anneal, giving the material an H3-temper. For
this reason, 5052 is normally supplied in the H3-temper, in which
the stable condition is achieved before shipment.

Welding:
5052 is readily welded by the TIG and MIG processes. The commonly
used filler alloys are 5356 and 5654. Welding 5052 in the H32, H34,
H36 or H38 will reduce the tensile and yield strengths in the heat
affected zone to those of the annealed condition.
5052 may also be gas
welded or resistance welded, but the resulting joints are not as
strong or as corrosion resistant as the inert gas welded joints.
Moreover, gas welding could result in excessive heat distortion
and, in thinner gauges, may burn through. It is essential that all
traces of flux used in welding or brazing are removed by scrubbing
with hot water upon completion.
Annealing: 345ºC
± 5ºC, until all parts have reached the annealing temperature.
Weight Calculation:
Weight per square metre in kilogrammes: 2.68 x thickness in mm.
