5052 Aluminum
Tread Plate
Superior marine-grade aluminum tread plate with exceptional corrosion resistance. Ideal for ship decks, offshore platforms, and harsh industrial environments.
Also Known As:
Diamond Plate • Anti-slip Plate • Checker Plate • Marine Plate
What is 5052 Aluminum Tread Plate?
A professional-grade material based on 5052 aluminum alloy, featuring precise Al-Mg-Cr composition and raised anti-slip patterns for demanding marine and industrial applications.
Marine-Grade Excellence
Engineered for ship decks, offshore platforms, and harsh saltwater environments with 25+ year service life.
Alloy Composition
- Base Material 5052 Aluminum Alloy
- Magnesium (Mg) 2.2% - 2.8%
- Chromium (Cr) 0.15% - 0.35%
- Silicon (Si) ≤0.25%
- Standards ASTM B209, EN 1386
Why Mg-Cr? The 2.2-2.8% magnesium provides excellent strength and corrosion resistance, while chromium (0.15-0.35%) prevents stress corrosion cracking—making it ideal for marine and harsh environments.

Why 5052 Outperforms Other Alloys
Compare 5052 with 3003 and 6061 to find the best alloy for your project.
| Dimension | 5052 Aluminum | 3003 Aluminum | 6061 Aluminum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength (H32/T6) | 31-38 KSI | 14-20 KSI (H22) | 40-45 KSI (T6) |
| Marine Corrosion | Excellent (seawater) | Good (freshwater only) | Moderate (pitting-prone) |
| Weldability | Excellent (no post-weld HT) | Good | Fair (needs post-weld HT) |
| Best Suited For | Marine, transport, harsh environments | Decoration, light indoor | Land-based structures |
Selection Guide: Choose 5052 for marine/harsh environments requiring corrosion resistance + weldability. Use 3003 for budget-friendly indoor/decorative applications. Select 6061 when maximum strength is critical (land-based structures).
