5052 aluminum alloy plates are widely used in applications that require high formability and excellent weldability, especially in environments involving liquid or gaseous media. They are commonly used for low-load components such as mailboxes, gas or oil pipes, various liquid containers, and small load parts like rivets. Additionally, they are frequently applied in stamping operations, instrumentation, street lamp brackets, and electrical housings for transportation vehicles and ships. Due to its outstanding corrosion resistance, particularly in marine atmospheres, 5052 aluminum is often chosen for ship construction, ship components, and fuel and oil pipelines.
Types include: 5052 aluminum, 5052-O, UNS A95052, ISO AlMg2.5, 5052-H32, AA5052-H32, and 5052-H38.
When comparing 5052 aluminum with 1060 aluminum, several key differences stand out:
- **Hardness**: The tensile strength of 1060 is between 110–130 MPa, while 5052 has a much higher tensile strength of 210–230 MPa, making it significantly harder.
- **Elongation**: 1060 offers about 5% elongation, whereas 5052 provides 12–20%, showing better ductility. This means the elongation of 5052 is approximately 200% higher than that of 1060.
- **Chemical Properties**: 1060 is pure aluminum, while 5052 is an aluminum-magnesium alloy, which gives it superior corrosion resistance in specific conditions.
- **Mechanical Properties**: 5052 exhibits better overall mechanical performance, especially in terms of strength and durability.
**Key Mechanical Properties**:
- Tensile Strength (σb): 170–305 MPa
- Yield Strength (σ0.2): ≥65 MPa
- Elastic Modulus (E): 69.3–70.7 GPa
- Annealing Temperature: 345°C
- Surface Finish: Available in various finishes depending on application needs
