most common is 5052 or 5052-h32, .063 thk
(uns a95052) is alloyed with 2.5% magnesium. tensile strength range 31,000 to 44,000 psi. very good corrosion resistance, good workability, weldability and strength. used for aircraft fuel tanks, storm shutters, refrigerator liners, utensils, electronic mounting plates and panels, fan blades, etc. conforms to federal specification qq-a-250/8 and astm b-209.

Ken,
You can also get 6061-T0, if you want to heat treat after punching, bending, etc..
5052 is dead soft.Regards
Mark
thanks, and yes we use that from time to time (very rare) along with the even softer 3003
