A magnesium-containing aluminium alloy referenced for hydraulic tube applications. Product form and cold-work condition must accompany any strength comparison.
Selected reference facts; incomplete alloy coverage. Keep typical values, source minima and composition limits distinct. Reference records are not certificates or design allowables.
Grade, forms and temper conditions
5000 series · Tube and pipe
Reviewed temper examples: O, H32, H34. These do not establish every possible alloy-form-temper supply combination.
Physical properties
Numerical physical properties are not verified for this record and remain withheld.
| Temper | Product form | Thickness / specimen condition | Tensile MPa | Yield MPa | Basis | Source ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| O | Tube and pipe | Tensile specimen elongation basis 4D; material thickness unspecified | 195 | 90 | typical | kaiser5052 |
| H32 | Tube and pipe | Tensile specimen elongation basis 4D; material thickness unspecified | 230 | 195 | typical | kaiser5052 |
O / Tube and pipe: Supplier reference; thickness of tensile specimen section; not a certificate or design allowable; checked 2026-10-14.
H32 / Tube and pipe: Supplier reference; thickness of tensile specimen section; not a certificate or design allowable; checked 2026-10-14.
Chemical composition
Composition coverage remains pending source review.
Fabrication and material selection
The referenced document reports typical tube properties. These are not sheet specification limits. Density is withheld because the source labels its unit inconsistently.
Applications and product forms
Hydraulic tubing
Standards and acceptance
Identify the governing product specification by the actual form and manufacturing route. A grade designation alone does not establish compliance or equivalence. Confirm the edition, required condition, inspection and dimensional limits through the supplier and an authorized specification.

Withheld or conflicting values
- Density unit is inconsistent in the source; withheld pending independent verification.
- Composition table labelled nominal; not imported as guaranteed chemical limits.
Technical questions
Are typical values delivery limits?
No. A typical reference value describes the source condition; it is not a guaranteed minimum for a delivered lot.
Which temper and thickness should I compare?
Compare the same material form, temper, thickness/test condition, unit and value basis. Different conditions cannot be silently treated as interchangeable.
Technical sources and verification
Selected reference facts checked 14 October 2026. Source values apply to their stated material condition and are not certification of supplied stock.
