1. What is aluminum alloy 5056 (UNS A95056)
High electrical conductivity and great corrosion resistance are properties of the aluminum alloy 5056 (UNS A95056). These alloys become extremely strong when exposed to temperatures below zero degrees Celsius, and they lose strength when exposed to temperatures over 200 to 250 degrees Celsius (392 to 482 degrees Fahrenheit). Since they are susceptible to high temperatures between 200 and 250 °C (392 and 482 °F), aluminum alloys are regarded as good low-temperature alloys.

6. Applications and characteristics of aluminum alloy 5056 (UNS A95056)
Among non-heat-treated alloys, the 5056 aluminum plate has a high magnesium content and good strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. After anodization, the 5056 aluminum plate's surface is stunning. The performance of arc welding is good. In addition, 5056 has trace amounts of manganese and chromium. Manganese can increase an alloy's stability and corrosion resistance, particularly its ability to withstand stress corrosion cracking. Similar to manganese, adding chromium can improve resistance to stress corrosion, boost the strength of the body metal and welds, and lessen the propensity for welding fractures.
