5052 aluminum is one of the 5 series aluminum alloys and an important member of aluminum-magnesium alloys. Due to its outstanding performance, it has a very wide range of applications.
Performance characteristics of 5052 aluminum
1. 5052 aluminum alloy plate, containing magnesium (2.5%) elements, has medium and high strength characteristics, and has good weldability and corrosion resistance;
2. No heat treatment, 5052 aluminum cannot be heat treated, it can only be strengthened by forging or rolling to make it stronger;
Special application of 5052 aluminum
5052 aluminum sheet is widely used in construction, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, decoration, j pressure vessels and other fields.
| low density | Applied in the automobile manufacturing industry, it can reduce the weight of the vehicle and reduce fuel consumption |  |
| Corrosion resistant | Due to its strong corrosion resistance, 5052 aluminum can be used in pressure vessel manufacturing and shipbuilding industries |  |
| Formability | 5052 aluminum is often used in mold manufacturing and other fields |  |
| Strength | Commercially pure aluminum has a tensile strength of 13 KSI. Through cold working methods and/or addition of alloying elements, aluminum can achieve strengths up to 100 KSI for structural applications. |  |
| Solderability | Because it can be welded, small pieces can be welded into large pieces, such as in shipbuilding, and it can also be made into containers for welding, such as pressure tankers |  |
