Heat treatment:
Alloy 5005 is non-hardenable and is normally used in the soft (O) temper.The alloy can be formed by cold working (e.g., rolling, bending) and hot working (e.g., pressing, forging).To improve the surface properties, the alloy can be stress-relieved by annealing (e.g. at 350 °C for 2 hours).
Applications:
Alloy 5005 is used in a variety of applications including:
Architecture: facade cladding, wall cladding, guttering, roof panels
Transport: body parts, trailers, truck bodies
Packaging: containers, lids, foils
Electrical engineering: housings for electronic devices, heat sinks
Industry: tanks, tank linings, heat exchangers
