5005-H16 Aluminum alloy,Aluminum 5005-H16 alloy,E FORU

### **Product Introduction: Aluminum 5005-H16 Alloy** **Overview** Aluminum 5005-H16 Alloy is a strain-hardened aluminum-magnesium alloy in the H16 temper condition, representing a three-quarter hard state achieved through significant cold working. This temper provides substantially higher strength and stiffness compared to softer tempers, while maintaining limited formability for basic fabrication operations. --- ### **1.

The H16 temper offers high strength with limited formability, making it suitable for structural applications requiring stiffness and strength. Properties may vary depending on manufacturing processes, product form, and thickness. For critical applications, consult technical data sheets from material suppliers and conduct appropriate testing. The material can be annealed to softer tempers if additional formability is required for fabrication processes.
