Approved Sheet Metal 6061-T6 vs 5052-H32

If you’re accustomed to selecting 6061-T6 aluminum for machining, you may find yourself automatically requesting that same material for your sheet metal parts. But 6061 aluminum isn’t typically the best choice for a sheet metal part. For aluminum fabrication, we usually recommend 5052-H32 instead.
Here, we’ll outline the differences between 6061 and 5052 and explain why 5052 is the superior choice for sheet metal fabrication.
