Aluminum (A5052) Spec Table
Aluminum (A5052) KS Specifications — 14 sizes
KS D 6701
Minimum bend values for A5052 aluminum alloy. Allows smaller R due to good ductility, but crack prevention still required.
Practical Notes
- Good ductility allows small R, but watch for cracks in work-hardened (H32/H34) condition. Annealed (O) temper is best for bending.

Key Features
- Minimum R differs by temper A5052-H32/H34; H34 (hard) requires ~1.5× R compared to H32
- High ductility but caution: sudden fracture without visible crack precursors
- t0.5–6.0 mm; transverse R ≥ 1.0t (H32) / R ≥ 1.5t (H34) recommended
Key Applications
Electronics heat-dissipation housings, aviation panels, automotive lightweight brackets, ship superstructures, building curtain wall panels
FAQ
How does A5052 temper affect bendability?
O (annealed)→most flexible, H32 (1/4 hard)→general, H34 (1/2 hard)→stiffer. H34 requires larger R to prevent cracking.
