Our 5005 bars and rods meet ASTM B221/B211 specifications and come in a range of tempers and sizes. Louis Metals provides material consistency, machinability, and quick, reliable supply to industries demanding aesthetics coupled with structural performance.
Aluminium 5005 has 0.5–1.1% Magnesium and minor content of Manganese, Iron, and Silicon. It yields tensile strength of 190–240 MPa and yield strength of 110–180 MPa. It is a non-heat-treatable alloy with good anodizing characteristics, smooth surface finish, and formability. It has moderate strength, very good corrosion resistance, and fair weldability and hence is used for functional as well as decorative applications.

Yes, Aluminium 5005 bars can be welded. It has excellent weldability, especially using TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding processes. Proper cleaning of the surface before welding is essential to prevent contamination and ensure strong welds.
Considerations for installing Aluminium 5005 bars and rods include ensuring proper welding techniques, avoiding galvanic corrosion, considering expansion and contraction due to temperature changes, and ensuring correct surface preparation for durability.
Aluminium 5005 has good corrosion resistance, particularly in atmospheric and marine environments, due to its high magnesium content. However, like all aluminium alloys, it can corrode under certain conditions, such as in highly acidic or alkaline environments. To prevent corrosion, surface treatments like anodizing or applying protective coatings are often used, especially in aggressive environments.
Aluminium 5005 Bars and Rods are extensively applied in architectural paneling, signage, roofing, equipment for the kitchen, and home appliances. With its smooth finish and high anodizing properties, it‘s commonly utilized in cosmetic and aesthetic applications. Its corrosion resistance makes it suitable for marine components, HVAC equipment, curtain walls, and electrical enclosures. It is also applied in furniture and precision-machined components where appearance and longevity are desired.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
