5052 h32 aluminum alloy plate aluminum sheet price ton Al-Mg alloy sheet

• A durable material with high strength and corrosion resistance

• 5052 aluminum is a versatile premium-grade material suitable for a wide range of applications. Although the metal is not heat treatable, magnesium and chromium — the two most prevalent alloying element — significantly increase the aluminum’s strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. The increased tensile strength and yield strength allows the alloy to handle high levels of stress and stand up to the harshest of environmental conditions.

• Excellent weldability is another reason why 5052 aluminum is a favored material in construction and manufacturing, creating strong, durable welds with techniques such as tungsten inert gas and metal inert gas. The ability to maintain integrity even under harsh conditions helps ensure continued high performance and safety for many years to come.

Key properties and benefits

* 5052 aluminum’s most notable properties are its weldability, formability, strength, durability, and thermal conductivity.

* 5052 aluminum’s excellent weldability ensures strong bonds with excellent structural integrity. This also helps simplify the assembly process in construction and manufacturing. 5052 aluminum’s high formability allows the metal to be shaped into precise, complex shapes for a wide range of applications. The alloy also lends itself to deep drawing and spinning, which can reduce costs by producing large quantities of products at scale.

* As one of the higher-strength non-heat-treatable alloys, 5052 aluminum has a high load-bearing capacity and resists deformation. It’s a good choice for parts or structures that need to withstand heavy use or impact while still maintaining integrity, and it performs well in harsh marine environments due to its strong corrosion resistance.

Aluminum Material Advantages than other material

♦ Aluminum tanker trailers are used to transport petrochemical products such as diesel, gasoline, kerosene, methanol, and ethanol. They are light weight with mass as little as 6 tons. Therefore, the weight of goods carried can be increased. Since the tanker body is made of aluminum, this type of trailers does not need anti rust treatment and there’s no need to worry about rust residue or damage done by rust. The trailer’s material is also environmentally friendly.

♦ Aluminum tanker trailers has much better fuel economy compared to tankers made from other material thanks to its lightweight. Research done by European Aluminum Association shows that 0.6L of gasoline can be saved for every ton and 10km. If traveling 12,000km a year, an aluminum tanker can reduce the dead weight of 5t compared with a steel tank, and it will save at least 1800L of fuel annually.

Applications for 5052 aluminum

Because it’s stronger than other popular alloys and has greater corrosion resistance, 5052 aluminum is ideal for marine industries, chemical applications, and electronics. Its uses include:

* Fuel tanks

* Truck-trailer side panels and cabs

* Road signs

* Hydraulic tubes

* Kitchen cabinets

* Small boats

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1)What are the characteristics of 5052 aluminum vs. 6061 aluminum?

5052 and 6061 are likely the two most widely used aluminum grades. Both are lightweight, offering strong corrosion resistance and high tensile strength, but which is “best” depends on the requirements of the application. 5052 is easier to bend and form without cracking, while 6061 can be extruded into various shapes and strengthens with heat treatment.

2) What are the characteristics of 3003 vs. 5052 aluminum?

3003 and 5052 aluminum are two common aluminum alloys. Both have similar characteristics, including good corrosion resistance and not being able to strengthen them through heat treatment. But 3003 uses manganese for its alloying element, while 5052 uses magnesium, which gives 5052 greater strength, finishing characteristics, and corrosion resistance.

3) Can I go to your factory to visit?

Of course, we welcome customers from all over the world to visit our factory.

Transportation

Aluminum sheet for tank trailers normally have a oversize width, so we use platform flat container for the shipment.
