Introduction to 5052 Aluminum Sheet

5052 aluminum sheet is a kind of Al-Mg alloy with a wide application scope especially in the construction industry. With good welding property, satisfying cold processing performance and medium strength, it’s regarded a very promising alloy in the industry. The main metal elements of 5052 sheet are aluminium and magnesium that has a even smaller density and better corrosion resistance than aluminum. 5052 aluminum can be used as a raw material for plane oil tanks, oil tubes, stamping parts for vehicles and ships, holders for instruments and street lamps, rivets, hardware products, electric appliance shells etc. Al-Mg alloy is the most extensively used anti-rust aluminum of good fatigue resistance, high plasticity and polishing property.

Generally speaking, 5052 aluminum has the following specifications:

Aluminum sheet: thickness 0.15-50mm, width 100mm-2000mm, length 1000mm-9000mm

Aluminum coil: thickness 0.05mm-15mm, width 15mm-2000mm

Sublimation sheet: thickness 0.3mm-0.9mm, width 500mm-1000mm, length customized

Anti-skip sheet: thickness 1mm-10mm, width 1000mm-1500mm, length 2000mm-3000mm

Embossed sheet: thickness 0.1-0.9mm, width 500mm-1200mm, length customized

5052 aluminum sheet has a tensile strength of 170 to 305mpa, yielding strength more than 65mpa, elasticity modulus between 69.3 and 70.7Gpa and annealing temperature 345 degree centigrade. In comparison to 1060 aluminum sheet, representative of 1000 series of alloy, it has much stronger hardness, higher elongation and far better corrosion resistance.
