The 5052 aluminium sheet price per kg in China has a computational formula: unit price equals aluminum ingot price of the day you ask for price plus manufacturing cost of your supplier. The aluminum ingot price can be obtained easily online, and the manufacturing cost varies from supplier to supplier. For example, the aluminum ingot price on June 17th 2017 was 13460RMB/MT, and the fabrication cost of a supplier is 5580RMB. Then the overall price for 5052 aluminium sheet on that day should be 13460+5580=19040RMB. If you need the price by dollars, just do math with the exchange rates.
This seems to be simple, but the specific aluminium 5052 price per kg is usually up to many factors: specification, quantity, special requirements etc. The processing fee of 5052 aluminum plate varies according to the thickness, length, width and different conditions. In the industry, the thickness is usually between 1-100mm, width 100-1500mm, and length 200-2500mm. The common sizes include 1220*2440mm, 1250*2500mm and 1500*3000mm. The price we discuss above is for regular sizes of the sheets, if you need special sizes, it entails further cutting, which costs much more. The manufacturing cost may rise to 7580RMB at least. And the quantity you need influences the price, too. Large quantities usually enjoy discounts. If you have other requirements, the cost would rocket.
Therefore, please contact your supplier first. It’s really difficult to get a specific price just by searching online.
