What Are The General Hardness and tempers of 5052 Aluminum Sheet

5052 aluminum sheet is a popular marine grade aluminum sheet with excellent corrosion resistance in salt water. Because of its good mechanical properties, cutting performance, and anodizing properties, 5052 aluminum plate is widely used in fields such as ships, machinery, electronics, chemicals, building materials, decoration and decoration.

The common types of 5052 aluminum plate are 5052 O aluminum sheet, 5051H112 aluminium plate, 5052 H34 aluminum sheet and 5052 H32 Aluminum Sheet. Of these four tempers, 5052 H32 and H34 is more widely used.

H32 represents the processing status of the aluminum plate. The “H3” portion of “H32” temper designates incomplete annealing and hardening situation. The processing is that the aluminium sheet is annealed and degraded harness at first, then it continues to work harden to avoid too soft. the The “2” designates its quarter-hard temper.

Hardness Grades: The “2”,”4”,”6”,”8” portion in the H32, H34, H24 and H18 represent the hardness. The larger the number is, the higher the hardness is. For example, the hardness of H34 is higher than that of H32. The “2”,”4”,”6”,”8” Stands for 1/4 hardness, 1/2 hardness, 3/4 hardness and full hard.

In short, 5052 aluminum sheet belongs to Al-Mg aluminum alloy with about 2.5% magnesium alloy. It is of high strength than 1 series and 3 series aluminum sheet. In addition, 5052 H32 aluminum sheet has good oxidation effect and good bending ability, which is suitable for marine parts, cabinets and other classic materials that need bending processing products.
