Aluminium 5251 Machining
A Guide to 5251 CNC Machined Parts: Properties, Applications and Design Considerations
What is 5251?
Aluminium 5251 is a medium strength magnesium manganese alloy best known for its good ductility and formability.
It has high corrosion resistance, and as a result is commonly used in marine environments.
5251 is traditionally recognised as a general sheet metal working grade. It is not heat treatable to higher strength.
Main Attributes of 5251:
- Good surface finish & aesthetic properties
- High corrosion resistance
- Very good weldability
- Good anodising properties
- Good mechanical properties
- Medium strength
- High fatigue strength
- Low density
