Located in the heart of Addis Ababa, Tariku Metals proudly serves industries across Ethiopia and beyond as a trusted manufacturer and supplier of precision aluminium components. We specialize in Aluminium 5052 Forgings, a product line chosen for its exceptional balance of strength and resilience. Our dedicated team combines local expertise with a commitment to stringent quality control, ensuring that every forging we produce meets the rigorous demands of modern engineering and construction projects, empowering progress with reliable, locally-sourced materials.
The specific composition of Aluminium 5052 gives these forgings their valuable characteristics. As a non-heat-treatable alloy, its strength comes from magnesium as the primary alloying element, which provides excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments. The forging process further enhances these properties, resulting in a material known for its good workability, high fatigue strength, and impressive toughness. This makes it a reliable choice for components that must withstand stress and harsh conditions without succumbing to failure.

Aluminum 5052 offers excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, good weldability, and formability. It's lightweight, durable, resistant to stress cracking, and performs well in marine and industrial environments, making it ideal for custom forgings.
Aluminum 5052 is not ideal for high-temperature forging applications due to its relatively low melting point and poor high-temperature strength. Alloys like 7075 or 2011 are better suited for such applications.
Aluminum 5052 has excellent workability, making it suitable for forging. Its low-to-medium strength, good corrosion resistance, and formability allow for ease in shaping, reducing the risk of cracking during forging.
The unique properties of Aluminium 5052 Forgings make them indispensable in numerous fields. You will find them forming critical parts in the marine industry, such as ship fittings and hardware, due to their resistance to saltwater corrosion. They are also essential in transportation for truck frames and aircraft components, in architecture for sturdy brackets and supports, and across various industrial machinery. Essentially, any application that demands a combination of light weight, durability, and excellent resistance to the elements is an ideal fit for this versatile forged alloy.
