Introduction of 5052 aluminum plate

5052 aluminum plate is an AL-Mg alloy aluminum plate, which is the most widely used rust-proof aluminum. This alloy has high strength, especially fatigue strength: high plasticity and corrosion resistance, cannot be strengthened by heat treatment, good plasticity during semi-cold hardening, low plasticity during cold hardening, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, poor machinability, and can be polished.

Professional introduction of 5052 aluminum plate

5052 aluminum plate is a commonly used aluminum alloy material with excellent corrosion resistance, weldability and machinability. It belongs to the 5000 series aluminum alloy, mainly composed of magnesium and aluminum, and also contains a small amount of chromium, manganese and titanium. 5052 aluminum plate is widely used in aerospace, automobile manufacturing, architectural decoration, electronic appliances and other fields.

Performance characteristics of 5052 aluminum plate

Mechanical properties

• Tensile strength (σb): 170～305MPa
• Conditional yield strength σ0.2 (MPa)≥65
• Elastic modulus (E): 69.3～70.7Gpa
• Annealing temperature: 345℃.

Surface quality

• 1. Cracks, corrosion spots and traces of nitrate are not allowed on the surface.
• 2. Peeling, bubbles, surface roughness and local mechanical damage with a depth not exceeding 8% of the nominal wall thickness of the defect are allowed on the surface, but the maximum depth of the defect cannot exceed 0.5mm, and the total area of the defect does not exceed 5% of the total area of the plate.
• 3. The supplier is allowed to polish the profile longitudinally until the surface is smooth.
• 4. Other requirements: to be formulated by the demander and the supplier.

Hardness

• Hardness: The tensile strength of 1060 aluminum plate is between 110-130, while the tensile strength of 5052 series is between 210-230, which means that the hardness of 5052 is 100% higher than that of 1060.
• Elongation: The elongation of 1060 series is 5%, while the elongation of 5052 series is between 12-20%. It can also be considered that when 5052 series is 100% harder than 1060, the elongation is also increased by about 200%.
• Chemical properties: 1060 is pure aluminum plate, 5052 is alloy aluminum plate, and 5052 is more corrosion-resistant in special environments.

Implementation Standard

National Standard for Aluminum Plate and Strip (GB/T 3880-2006), a unified standard applicable to aluminum alloy plate and strip materials.
