2. Mechanical Properties
5052 alloy is known for its excellent formability, weldability, and corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments. Typical mechanical properties for forged products:
Property | Condition (Temper) | Value |
Tensile Strength | O (Annealed) | 193–228 MPa (28–33 ksi) |
| H32 (Strain Hardened) | 230–285 MPa (33–41 ksi) |
Yield Strength (0.2% Offset) | O | 89–138 MPa (13–20 ksi) |
| H32 | 195–240 MPa (28–35 ksi) |
Elongation (% in 50 mm) | O | 25–30% |
| H32 | 10–15% |
Hardness (Brinell) | H32 | 60–75 HB |
Fatigue Strength | H32 | 110–130 MPa (16–19 ksi) |
