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 pipelines, various liquid containers, and small load parts like rivets. Additionally, 5052 aluminum is frequently utilized in stamping operations, instrumentation, streetlight brackets, and electrical housings for transportation vehicles and ships. Due to its outstanding corrosion resistance, particularly in marine atmospheres, it is often employed in shipbuilding, ship components, and fuel or oil piping systems.
Available 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 emerge:
- **Hardness**: The tensile strength of 1060 is between 110–130 MPa, while 5052 has a tensile strength of 210–230 MPa, making 5052 significantly harder.
- **Elongation**: Alloy 1060 has an elongation of 5%, whereas 5052 ranges from 12% to 20%. This indicates that 5052 has about 200% more elongation than 1060.
- **Chemical Properties**: 1060 is a pure aluminum alloy, while 5052 is an aluminum-magnesium alloy, giving it better corrosion resistance in certain conditions.
- **Mechanical Properties**: 5052 exhibits superior mechanical performance compared to 1060, making it more suitable for structural and load-bearing applications.
Key mechanical properties of 5052 aluminum include:
- **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 multiple finishes depending on application requirements.
