Why choose it, and why not
Good for
- Wrought rod, tube and wire where seawater and weathering resistance matter, with the supplier rating very good for both.
- Parts that must be food safe, as the H24 supplier page states, with no further food-contact data read here.
Watch out for
- Brazing is rated poor by the supplier, so brazed joints may be weak.
- No yield strength was found for any temper, so yield-based design values cannot be taken from these sources.
- The corrosion rating is qualitative and has no test conditions behind it.
- The hazard classes apply to the 5xxx family, not to 5019 alone.
5019 is a corrosion-resistant Al-Mg wrought alloy by supplier rating, with a tensile range of about 270 to 380 MPa depending on temper. The sources here are thin on yield strength and on any space or flight use, and the hazard data are family-level.

Risks and side effects
Hazards to people, what happens when a cell overheats, and how the material is handled and stored.
For people
The Hydro safety data sheet for the 5xxx series gives dust, fume, skin and environmental warnings. No health data for 5019 alone were found.
- Machining dust
- Metallic dust may ignite or explode, and dusts and fumes can cause metal fume fever (Hydro SDS, 5xxx series).
- Skin and inhalation
- The same sheet classifies the 5xxx product as a skin sensitiser (H317) and as suspected of causing cancer by inhalation (H351).
- Environment
- Small chips, fine turnings and processing dust may be toxic to aquatic life, according to the same sheet.
If it fails
The failure routes found in the sources are dust ignition, poor brazed joints and surface corrosion in service.
- Brazing
- The supplier rates hard brazing poor with and without flux, and soft brazing with flux poor. Friction soldering is rated acceptable.
- Corrosion
- The supplier rates seawater and weathering resistance very good. No test result for 5019 was found.
Handling and storage
- Specify temper and form
- Strength ranges differ for H12 rod, tube and wire, H24 tube, rod and wire, and the 0 to 30 °C values, so state the temper and form before comparing figures.
- Dust control
- Keep machining chips and fines under control, and avoid breathing dust or fume, following the Hydro SDS.
Test details
The original wording and numbers from the sources, for readers who want them.
Failure risks
| Failure | Trigger and consequence |
|---|---|
| Dust ignition during machiningmoderate severity | Machining, grinding or handling fine chips, turnings or dustThe Hydro sheet says metallic dusts may ignite or explode, and that dust, chips or ribbons can be ignited more easily by an ignition source or by improper machining. |
| Poor brazed jointsmoderate severity | Hard brazing with or without flux, or soft brazing with fluxThe supplier rates hard brazing poor with and without flux, and soft brazing with flux poor. Friction soldering is rated acceptable. |
Handling and storage
- Avoid breathing dust or fume, and keep chips, turnings and dust under control. The Hydro sheet gives the precautionary statement 'Avoid breathing dust, fume' and says processing dust may be toxic to aquatic life.
- Specify the temper and product form before comparing strengths. The supplier listings give different tensile ranges for H12 rod, tube and wire (270 to 350 MPa) and for H24 tube, rod and wire (300 to 380 MPa), and Total Materia gives a 250 to 385 MPa range at 0 to 30 °C.

gaps:
- No yield strength (Rp0.2) was recorded for 5019 in any temper. Total Materia prints it only behind a registration wall, the Mfgrobots pages give tensile values only, and the MakeItFrom and Wieland datasheet pages could not be read (HTTP 403 and 404).
- No thermal expansion (CTE) value is recorded. The Mfgrobots H12 page prints four values with no clear condition, and the Total Materia CTE row is behind a registration wall.
- Elongation for the Mfgrobots H12 listing is printed as 6, 7 and 8 % against A50 and A100 without a clear mapping, so it was left out. The Total Materia minimum (2 %, A) is recorded instead.
- No application or use is confirmed for 5019 in any source read here. The H24 supplier page says the alloy is food safe, but it names no device or application, so the uses list is empty.
- No flight, spacecraft, satellite or launch-vehicle record for 5019 was found.
- No corrosion test data (salt spray, ASTM G66 or G67, exfoliation, stress corrosion) for 5019 was found. Only the supplier rating very good for seawater and weathering is recorded.
- The hazard classes come from the Hydro SDS for the whole 5xxx product family, not a 5019-specific SDS. PubChem and an alloy-specific safety sheet were not read for this grade.
- 'Designation conflict: the Bikar page prints DIN 3.3355, and Total Materia prints DIN 3.3555. Only 3.3555 is recorded, from Total Materia, and the Bikar figure is not entered.'
- The magnesium range (4.5 to 5.6 %) comes from one supplier listing (Bikar), and the Total Materia magnesium row is behind a registration wall. Mn, Si, Fe, Cu, Cr, Zn and Ti limits are from the same Bikar listing only.
- Electrical conductivity is recorded as electrical resistivity from Total Materia, so the Mfgrobots conductivity of 15,000,000 to 19,000,000 S/m was not entered as a separate property.
- The brinell_hardness benchmark name is not in property-canon.yaml. The Brinell range is recorded with that short snake_case name, as in the 2017 profile.
- The USGS 2026 aluminum summary read here does not mention a critical-minerals list, so no critical-list entry is recorded.
- Radiation effects, atomic oxygen erosion, outgassing and cryogenic properties were not looked up for this grade.

story:
recipe:
line: 5019 is a wrought aluminium-magnesium alloy, EN AW-5019 or AlMg5. Magnesium is the main alloying element at 4.5 to 5.6 wt%, with manganese, chromium, iron, silicon, zinc, titanium and copper as minor elements (Bikar listing, EN 573-3 limits). The sources read here do not describe how the product is made, and the composition below is the standard range, not a measured value.

risk_groups:
- title: For people
level: 1
verdict: Dust, fume and skin warnings
lead: The Hydro safety data sheet for the 5xxx series gives dust, fume, skin and environmental warnings. No health data for 5019 alone were found.
points:
- label: Machining dust
line: Metallic dust may ignite or explode, and dusts and fumes can cause metal fume fever (Hydro SDS, 5xxx series).
- label: Skin and inhalation
line: The same sheet classifies the 5xxx product as a skin sensitiser (H317) and as suspected of causing cancer by inhalation (H351).
- label: Environment
line: Small chips, fine turnings and processing dust may be toxic to aquatic life, according to the same sheet.
- title: If it fails
lead: The failure routes found in the sources are dust ignition, poor brazed joints and surface corrosion in service.
points:
- label: Brazing
line: The supplier rates hard brazing poor with and without flux, and soft brazing with flux poor. Friction soldering is rated acceptable.
- label: Corrosion
line: The supplier rates seawater and weathering resistance very good. No test result for 5019 was found.
- title: Handling and storage
points:
- label: Specify temper and form
line: Strength ranges differ for H12 rod, tube and wire, H24 tube, rod and wire, and the 0 to 30 °C values, so state the temper and form before comparing figures.
- label: Dust control
line: Keep machining chips and fines under control, and avoid breathing dust or fume, following the Hydro SDS.
why: 5019 is a magnesium-rich aluminium alloy for wrought products. Supplier data give a density of 2.64 g/cm3, a tensile strength of 270 to 350 MPa in H12 rod, tube and wire, and 300 to 380 MPa in H24, with seawater and weathering resistance rated very good. The supplier also calls the alloy food safe. The sources read here name no aerospace or space application for this grade.
uses: []
can_do:
- label: Strength
value: 270 to 350 MPa tensile (H12)
benchmark: ultimate_tensile_strength
line: The H12 listing gives a tensile strength of 270 to 350 MPa for rod, tube and wire. The H24 listing gives 300 to 380 MPa.
- label: Weight
value: 2.64 g/cm3
benchmark: density
line: The supplier gives a density of 2.64 g/cm3.
- label: Heat
value: 110 to 140 W/(m·K)
benchmark: thermal_conductivity
line: The H12 listing gives a thermal conductivity of 110 to 140 W/(m·K) at 20 °C.
- label: Sea and weather
value: Very good (supplier rating)
line: The H24 corrosion table rates seawater and weathering resistance very good. No test conditions are given.
compare: 5019 is a magnesium-rich aluminium alloy with a density near 2.64 g/cm3 and a tensile strength of 250 to 385 MPa across the forms and tempers listed. The sources here give its density, stiffness and thermal figures only for this alloy, and they do not compare it with other grades numerically.
compare_rows:
- label: Density
benchmark: density
- label: Thermal conductivity
benchmark: thermal_conductivity
- label: Modulus of elasticity
benchmark: elastic_modulus
handling:
- Specify the temper and product form, because the tensile ranges differ for H12, H24 and the 0 to 30 °C values.
- Keep machining dust and fines under control. Metallic dust may ignite or explode.
- Do not rely on hard brazing. The supplier rates it poor.
good_for:
- Wrought rod, tube and wire where seawater and weathering resistance matter, with the supplier rating very good for both.
- Parts that must be food safe, as the H24 supplier page states, with no further food-contact data read here.
watch_out:
- Brazing is rated poor by the supplier, so brazed joints may be weak.
- No yield strength was found for any temper, so yield-based design values cannot be taken from these sources.
- The corrosion rating is qualitative and has no test conditions behind it.
- The hazard classes apply to the 5xxx family, not to 5019 alone.
verdict: 5019 is a corrosion-resistant Al-Mg wrought alloy by supplier rating, with a tensile range of about 270 to 380 MPa depending on temper. The sources here are thin on yield strength and on any space or flight use, and the hazard data are family-level.
