H321 strain hardened 5059, with properties measured at 20 °C (68 °F), has yield strength of 270 MPa (39 ksi), ultimate tensile strength of 370 MPa (54 ksi), and elongation of 10%.
252:
Arc welding reduces mechanical properties to no worse than –O hardening condition. The relatively low decrease in ultimate strength is extremely good performance for an aluminium alloy.

Since heat treatment doesn't strongly affect the strength, 5059 can be readily welded and retain most of its mechanical strength.
