Aluminium products have always been a popular choice in the construction industry and now even more so, as a solution to the recladding crisis that is currently gripping all States throughout Australia. With solid aluminium panels currently taking the lead there is more to the decision of which product to use than simply the brand name. An additional decision needs to be made regarding the right aluminium series to use – 3003 or 5052.
What is the difference and why should you care?
5052
The 5052 alloy contains Magnesium as its main alloy and is also known as ‘marine grade’ aluminium. Typically used for marine applications, it is also easy to fabricate. Its corrosion resistance even in saltwater environments makes it beneficial to the Australian construction industry where the majority of developments are on a coastline or located in a corrosive environment. 5052 also has higher tensile strength and is considered a superior grade of alloy.
