GNEE Confirms 4.327 Tons Of 5052 H114 Aluminum Coil For Vietnam

A 4.327-ton order of 5052 H114 aluminum coil, 2.5 mm thick and 1250 mm wide, has been booked into GNEE's production schedule for a buyer in Vietnam. The lot is moving through hot rolling, cold rolling, and coil inspection ahead of dispatch, with the same full-process control GNEE applies to every 5xxx-series export order - from melt chemistry to packed coil.

Why 5052 H114 Fits the Vietnamese Market

5052 is an aluminum–magnesium (5xxx series) alloy that is strengthened by cold work, not heat treatment. Its balance of corrosion resistance, weldability, and formability is why it keeps winning orders in coastal and tropical markets like Vietnam: salt-laden air, high humidity, and growing transport and manufacturing sectors all punish materials that rust or crack.

Typical uses for this gauge and form:

Marine and coastal fabrication - boat fittings, decks, panel work exposed to salt spray

Transport - truck bodies, trailer skins, fuel and water tanks

General fabrication - tanks, ducting, enclosures, sheet-metal work

Construction - cladding, roofing, and profiles in coastal areas

Chemical Composition (per EN 573-3 / ASTM B209, wt%, max unless range)

Physical properties (typical): density 2.68 g/cm³; melting range ≈ 607–650 °C; modulus of elasticity ≈ 70 GPa; thermal conductivity ≈ 138 W/(m·K).

Mechanical Properties of 5052-H114

Minimum values differ between standards: for the 2.3–4.4 mm gauge band, ASTM B209 data lists higher minimums (Rm ≥ 245 MPa, Rp0.2 ≥ 165 MPa, A ≥ 6 %). The binding figures for any order are those of the ordered standard and the Mill Test Certificate (MTC) shipped with the lot.

What H114 means: H114 is a strain-hardened temper. In practice it sits between the annealed O/H111 condition and the harder H32/H34 tempers - strength above annealed, formability still good enough for bending and deep drawing-type work. That is exactly the window most fabricators want when they need a coil that both forms easily and holds shape in service.

Quality Control

Every coil in this lot goes through fixed checks before it is cleared to ship:

Chemical composition analysis per heat - confirmed against the ordered standard.

Tensile and elongation test on a representative sample from the lot.

Dimensional checks - thickness and width measured against the 2.5 × 1250 mm spec, plus camber/flatness.

Surface inspection for mill-finish quality before packing.

Traceability marking - heat number and lot ID on the coil and in the documents.

The MTC (EN 10204 3.1) is sent to the buyer for review before shipment - that is the confirmation point of this order. If any test result or dimension falls outside the confirmed specification, the coil is held, re-inspected, and replaced if needed; it does not ship. Third-party inspection (SGS, BV) is available on request.

FAQ

Q1: What does H114 mean for 5052? A: H114 is a strain-hardened temper - strength above annealed (O) but with enough ductility for bending and forming. It sits between O/H111 and the harder H32/H34 tempers, the window most fabricators want when a coil must both form easily and hold shape.

Q2: What are the ASTM B209 minimum properties for 5052-H114 at 2.5 mm? A: Per ASTM B209-2014, in the 2.3–4.4 mm band: tensile Rm ≥ 245 MPa, yield Rp0.2 ≥ 165 MPa, elongation A ≥ 6 %. These are indicative; the binding figures are on the MTC for your lot.

Q3: Is 5052-H114 the same as H32? A: No. Both are strain-hardened; H114 is the plate/coil temper, H32 is strain-hardened and stabilized sheet. Their strength windows overlap (H32 ≈ 214–262 MPa min Rm, H114 ≈ 234–245 MPa in this band), but stabilize and form differently. Pick by forming need and ordered standard.

Q4: Can 5052-H114 be welded? A: Yes. TIG/MIG with 5356 filler is standard for 5xxx alloys. The weld zone is softer than the base temper, so design for reduced local strength.

Q5: Which standards do you supply to? A: This order is to ASTM B209; we also supply EN 485 and GB/T 3880. Confirm the required standard on the PO.

Q6: What are MOQ and lead time? A: MOQ is flexible and small trial orders are considered case by case. Lead time is 15–30 days for stock sizes; custom items are confirmed at quotation.

Q7: Do you offer coil processing (slitting, cut-to-length)? A: Yes - slitting, cut-to-length, leveling, blanking, bending, welding, and surface treatment. Send your drawing and tolerance; we confirm scope at quotation.

Q8: What documents come with a Vietnam order? A: MTC per EN 10204 3.1 with each lot, plus chemical/mechanical reports; third-party inspection (SGS, BV) on request. Vietnamese buyers should confirm ACFTA/Form E preferential-duty applicability with their customs broker.
