What Are Aluminium 5005 Plates and Blocks?
Aluminium 5005 is a non-heat treatable alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for architectural, marine and chemical equipment as well as plates and blocks Manufactured out of Aluminium 505, such as those manufactured for use as structural components in construction or transportation industries.
Aluminium 5005 plates and blocks are widely acclaimed for their exceptional corrosion resistance, making them suitable for marine environments, chemical processing plants and architectural projects. Containing magnesium as part of its chemical makeup, Aluminium 5005 alloy provides additional resistance against atmospheric corrosion, saltwater corrosion and various industrial chemicals, further surface finish enhancement via anodization provides even further corrosion protection.
Aluminium 5005 boasts excellent machinability properties, providing for effortless cutting, drilling and milling processes. Furthermore, its soft temper enables smooth machining operations which reduce tool wear while increasing productivity, an asset which makes Aluminium 505 an attractive material choice when manufacturing automotive components, electronic enclosures or signage products.
Aluminium 5005 stands out as being highly weldable due to its compatibility with various welding techniques, including MIG and TIG welding, making fabrication easy for intricate structures and assemblies. Welded joints demonstrate excellent strength and integrity making this alloy suitable for applications requiring structural stability such as transportation equipment, storage tanks or building frameworks.
Aluminium 5005 plates and blocks find multiple uses across industries. From aerospace components to marine vessels, this versatile alloy excels at corrosion resistance, machinability and weldability in demanding environments such as aerospace components production facilities or marine vessel shipyards. Architectural elements, transportation infrastructure projects or even industrial machinery also rely on this versatile alloy, showing its adaptability in meeting manufacturing demands of multiple manufacturing requirements.

Melting and Casting
Steel and alloying metals are loaded into an electric arc furnace. Once in the furnace, the metal is heated to a specific temperature above its melting point, usually in excess of 2800°F.
Forming
Most cast steel is formed by hot rolling—the slab, bloom, or billet is heated and passed through large rollers, stretching out the steel into a longer, thinner form.
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment strengthens rolled steel by recrystallizing the deformed microstructure. Most steel is heat treated by annealing.
Cutting or Machining
Steel is cut to a specified shape and size. The steel can be sheared with circular knives, sawed with high-speed blades, or blanked with punches.
Finishing
Steels can be made with a wide variety of surface finishes. The chosen surface finish is not purely aesthetic. The type of finish is determined by the intended application.
