Popular products of 5005 aluminum tube
5005 cold drawn aluminum tube
Cold drawing is a process where aluminum tubes are stretched through a die at low temperatures to achieve the desired dimensions and shapes.
- High Precision: Cold drawn aluminum tubes offer greater dimensional accuracy, suitable for applications with strict size requirements.
- High Surface Finish: The cold drawing process results in a smoother surface, reducing the need for subsequent processing steps.
- Increased Strength: Cold working hardens the material, making the strength of cold drawn aluminum tubes higher than that of untreated raw material.
Mechanical Properties of 5005 Cold Drawn Aluminum Tube:
| Temper | Wall thickness (mm) | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Yield Strength (MPa) | Elongation (%) | Hardness (HB) |

5005 aluminum tubes are ideal for anodizing
- After anodizing, the surface film of 5005 aluminum is clearer and lighter than 3003, matching the color of 6063 architectural extrusions, making it ideal for applications with strict aesthetic requirements.
- Although 5052 is often used as a substitute for 5005, 5052 is more prone to defects and color variations.
- While 5005 and 3003 have similar properties, 5005 delivers better anodizing results with a brighter oxide layer.
- In some cases, anodizing 5005 aluminum tubes may result in streaks.
- It's recommended to test anodizing performance with sample parts before mass production to ensure quality standards are met.
Welding of 5005 aluminum tubes
- Preferred Welding Methods: GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding, also known as MIG) and GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding, also known as TIG) are the primary welding methods.
- Pre-Weld Preparation: 5005 aluminum must be thoroughly clean and dry to prevent contamination and porosity in the weld.
- Filler Metals: Recommended filler metals include 1100, 4043, 4047, or 1188. Among these, 4043 provides the highest crack resistance, 4047 reduces crack sensitivity, and 1188 offers the best color match, particularly for anodized applications.
- Filler metal 1100 is suitable for general welding needs, while a filler alloy similar to 5005 is recommended when matching the base material is critical.
- Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ): Welding 5005 aluminum can reduce material strength in the HAZ.
- Post-Weld Treatments: For thicker or high-stress components, consider annealing or natural aging after welding to relieve internal stresses and improve structural strength.
Processing of 5005 aluminum tubes
- In the soft temper state, the machinability of 5005 is poor, but it improves with increased temper hardness (such as H34 and H38).
- 5005 aluminum is generally not hot worked but can undergo necessary heat treatment in the range of 400 to 700°F.
- The machining accuracy of 5005 aluminum depends on high speed, adequate lubrication, sharp tools, positive rake angles, sufficient clearance, and continuous cutting.
- Sharp tools made from high-speed steel or carbide should be used for machining 5005 aluminum.
- In punching and shearing processes, the clearance between the punch and die for H32 and H34 temper should be 6% of the thickness on each side.
