Louis Metals supplies Aluminium 5005 Forgings produced in Houston with superior surface finish, corrosion resistance, and moderate strength. 5005 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy of architectural and decorative usage. Our 5005 products are forged in accordance with ASTM B247 standards. They suit those parts where anodizing and appearance are required along with general structural integrity. Louis Metals supplies custom forged parts designed for visual uniformity and environmental resistance.
5005 has 0.5–1.1% Magnesium. It has tensile strength of 145–185 MPa and yield strength of approximately 110–160 MPa. The alloy is highly corrosion-resistant in atmospheric and marine environments. It can be easily shaped and welded and is a good anodizer. Since it is non-heat-treatable, it is cold-worked for strengthening.

Aluminum 5005 offers excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability, formability, and moderate strength, making it ideal for custom forgings in architectural and marine applications, while providing a smooth, aesthetic finish.
Aluminum 5005 is not ideal for high-temperature forging applications. It has moderate strength and good corrosion resistance but lacks the high-temperature stability needed for forging processes.
Aluminum 5005 has good workability, allowing for easy forging. Its moderate strength and excellent corrosion resistance make it suitable for shaping, but it requires careful control of temperature to avoid cracking.
5005 Forgings find applications in signage, curtain walls, architectural panels, appliance parts, and marine trim. It is suitable for components that require aesthetic finishes with corrosion resistance. It‘s also employed in interior transportation, enclosures, and lightweight fabricated assemblies. 5005 is a popular choice for functional and decorative metalwork.
