5049 aluminum is a non-heat-treatable wrought alloy in the 5xxx series, alloyed primarily with magnesium (1.6-2.5%) and manganese (0.5-1.1%). Magnesium provides solid-solution strengthening, while manganese contributes grain refinement and additional strength. The alloy is designated EN AW-5049 under the European standard EN 573-3.
As a strain-hardened alloy, 5049 gains strength through cold working rather than heat treatment. It is available in O (annealed), H32, H34, and H36 tempers, offering a range of strength-ductility combinations to suit different fabrication requirements.
5049 is closely related to other 5xxx series alloys such as 5052 and 5251, sharing similar magnesium-manganese chemistry. It is particularly valued in marine and structural applications where corrosion resistance and weldability are critical.

5049 aluminum is a non-heat-treatable alloy strengthened through strain hardening. The choice of temper determines the balance between strength and formability:
| Temper | Condition | İçin En İyisi |
|---|---|---|
| O | Annealed, fully soft | Maximum formability — deep drawing, complex bending, and welding-intensive fabrication |
| H32 | 1/4 hard, strain hardened and stabilized | Balanced strength and formability — general structural applications, marine components |
| H34 | 1/2 hard, strain hardened and stabilized | Higher strength requirements — panels, frames, and pressure-containing components |
| H36 | 3/4 hard, strain hardened and stabilized | Maximum strength — applications where formability is less critical and rigidity is prioritized |
H3x tempers are stabilized after strain hardening, which ensures dimensional stability for applications involving thermal cycling. For welded structures, O or H32 tempers are generally recommended, as the heat-affected zone will locally anneal the material.
5049 aluminum offers excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly in marine and industrial environments. The magnesium content provides a stable protective oxide layer that performs well in saltwater exposure. Unlike some 2xxx and 7xxx alloys, 5049 does not suffer from stress corrosion cracking under normal service conditions, making it suitable for long-term outdoor and marine applications.
5049 has very good weldability using TIG (GTAW) and MIG (GMAW) processes. As a non-heat-treatable alloy, the heat-affected zone in welded joints softens to near-O temper condition, which should be factored into structural design. Filler metals such as 5356 or 5183 are commonly recommended for welding 5049 to maintain corrosion resistance and joint strength.
With a density of 2.69 g/cm³ and tensile strengths up to 330 MPa in H36 temper, 5049 provides a favorable strength-to-weight ratio for structural applications. It is approximately one-third the weight of steel while offering comparable strength-to-weight performance in many design scenarios.
In the O temper, 5049 exhibits excellent formability, suitable for deep drawing, bending, and stamping operations. Formability decreases progressively with higher H tempers. H32 retains good formability while offering moderate strength, making it a versatile choice for many fabrication processes.
5049 aluminum is used across industries where corrosion resistance, weldability, and moderate-to-high strength are required:
Linsy offers the following processing capabilities for 5049 aluminum products:
Surface finish options include:
For 5049, anodizing produces a clear or tinted finish. The Mg content may result in a slightly different anodic film appearance compared to 6xxx alloys. Sample finishing can be arranged for evaluation.

5049 and 5052 are both 5xxx series Mg-Mn alloys with similar properties. 5049 has a slightly wider manganese range (0.5-1.1% vs. 0.10 max in 5052) and a comparable magnesium range. In practice, the two alloys are often used interchangeably in marine and structural applications, though specific project specifications may require one or the other.
Yes. 5049 has very good weldability using TIG and MIG processes. ER5356 filler wire is commonly used. The heat-affected zone will soften to approximately O temper condition, which should be considered in structural design calculations.
Yes. 5049 is well-suited for marine environments due to its excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion. It is used in boat hulls, deck structures, and other marine components. The Mg content provides a stable oxide layer that resists pitting and general corrosion in chloride environments.
5049 is available in O (annealed), H32 (1/4 hard), H34 (1/2 hard), and H36 (3/4 hard) tempers. O temper offers maximum formability, while H36 provides the highest strength. H32 is the most commonly specified temper for general structural applications.
No. 5049 is a non-heat-treatable alloy. It cannot be strengthened by solution heat treatment and aging (as with 6xxx or 7xxx alloys). Strength is achieved through strain hardening (cold working) and stabilization, which is what the H3x tempers indicate.
