5052-H32 vs. 6061-T6: Which Aluminum Alloy is Best for Your Project?

Aluminum alloys 5052-H32 and 6061-T6 offer excellent corrosion resistance and have high tensile strength. Both alloys can be anodized to further enhance their corrosion resistance and have a similar composition (the primary alloying elements of both 5052-H32 and 6061-T6 are magnesium and silicon). Despite these similarities, 5052-H32 and 6061-T6 aren’t identical. When choosing between the …
