5052 H32 Aluminum Sheet

5052 h32 aluminum sheet is a common aluminum alloy material, belonging to the aluminum-magnesium alloy series. It has good corrosion resistance, formability and weldability and is widely used in many fields.

The main components of 5052 aluminum alloy include:

- Aluminum (Al): approx. 95.7% - 97.7

- Magnesium (Mg): 2.2% - 2.8%

- Chromium (Cr): 0.15% - 0.5%

- Other elements: iron, manganese, silicon, etc.

- H32: H32 is a specific processing temper that indicates that the material has been cold work-hardened to varying degrees after solid solution treatment. Specifically, H32 means that the material has been cold work hardened by approximately 25%, which further increases its strength and hardness while maintaining good formability.

Physical properties of aluminum sheet 5052 h32 are:

- Density: approx. 2.68 g/cm³.

- Tensile strength: approx. 210 MPa

- Yield strength: approx. 165 MPa

- Elongation: approx. 12%-20

- Hardness: approx. 60 HB

The characteristics of aluminium sheet 5052 h32:

- High strength: 5052 aluminum alloy has high strength and good fatigue resistance, making it suitable for application scenarios requiring high mechanical strength.

- Good corrosion resistance: The aluminum alloy has good resistance to atmosphere, seawater and many chemicals, suitable for outdoor and marine environments.

- Good machinability: it is easy to carry out machining operations such as cutting, bending, stamping, etc., and is suitable for making complex shaped parts.

- Good weldability: can be welded by a variety of methods, such as TIG welding (tungsten argon arc welding) and MIG welding (metal inert gas welding)

- Lightweight: compared to steel, 5052 H32 aluminum sheet is lighter, reducing the weight of the structure.

5052 H32 aluminum sheet is widely used in:

- Shipbuilding: Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, 5052 aluminum sheet is commonly used in the shipbuilding industry, especially for hull structures and internal components.

- Aerospace: Used for non-load-bearing structural components of aircraft, such as flooring and bulkheads.

- Architectural decoration: it can be used for exterior wall panels, roofing materials, etc., due to its aesthetics and low maintenance costs.

- Home Appliance Manufacturing: Shells and internal components of household appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines.

- Transportation: Manufacturing of automobiles, train cars, and fuel tanks.

- Electronic equipment housings

- -Containers and equipment for food and chemical industries

5052 H32 aluminum sheet can be processed by cutting, stamping, bending, welding and other processing methods to meet different design and use requirements. Surface treatment such as anodizing, spraying, painting, etc. can be carried out to enhance its corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

5052 h32 aluminum sheet has become a very popular material in many industrial and commercial fields due to its excellent performance and diverse applications.
