Heat treatment:Alloy 5005 is non-heat-treatable and is usually used in the soft condition (O).The alloy can be formed by cold working, such as rolling and bending, as well as by hot forming, such as pressing and forging.To improve surface properties, the alloy can be stress-relieved by annealing, for example at 350°C for 2 hours.
Applications:
Alloy 5005 is used in various applications, including:Architecture: façade cladding, wall cladding, gutters, roof panels
Transport: body components, trailers, truck bodies
Packaging: containers, lids, foils
Electrical engineering: housings for electronic devices, heat sinks
Industry: tanks, tank linings, heat exchangers
