5052-H32 Aluminum

Light, strong, easy to work with, 5052-H32 aluminum is one of the most versatile grades of aluminum available. Laser-cut aluminum may have a small amount of dross (burr) on the underside. Parts may also have cosmetic imperfections/scratches as a result of the manufacturing process. Parts over 75mm/3 inches and greater than 1.5mm/0.060" thickness can be deburred for a grained finish. For parts under this size, contact us for finishing options.
