What Is 5052 Aluminum Alloy

5052 aluminum alloy is an Al-Mg alloy with medium strength, high fatigue strength and good plasticity. It is the most widely used anti-rust material. The role of chromium (Cr) in this alloy is similar to that of manganese (Mn), which improves the resistance to stress corrosion cracking, increases the strength of the base metal and weld, and reduces the tendency of welding cracks. The main tempers are 052-H32, H34, H36, H38, O, etc. 5052 aluminum sheet and tube are the most welcomed.

5052 aluminum is also called Almg2.5. The magnesium alloy content can reach around 2.5%. In recent years, it has been widely used in industries such as hardware processing parts, electronic and electrical casings, mold stamping,etc.

5052 aluminum has good bending performance in the H32 temper. The tensile strength is about 230, and the Webster hardness is about 10-12 degrees. The tensile strength in the HO temper is about 190-200 and the Webster hardness is about 8 degrees.

5052-H32 aluminum plate has good hardness and good bending performance. It is more suitable for bending sheet metal products that have certain hardness requirements. At the same time, the processing technology is basically hot rolling, the internal grain size is uniform, and it is also suitable for anodizing processing.

5052 aluminum plates are basically used as mid-to-high-end products, so when processing 5052 aluminum plates, you must pay attention to surface quality, flatness, and thickness tolerance issues. At the same time, there are often many 5052 aluminum plates that require surface anodization. Therefore, for 5052 aluminum plates, the stability of the surface texture after anodization also needs attention.

Typical 5052 aluminum uses

As one of the components of the wind turbine, fan blades are required to be designed in strict accordance with specifications and requirements. Therefore, regardless of material, structure, characteristics and functions, the operating requirements of most wind turbines must be met. The aluminum alloy fan blades are made of high-quality 5052 aluminum alloy, which has high strength, light weight, high temperature resistance and long life. The density of aluminum alloy blades is relatively low, but its strength is very high.

At present, large storage tanks are widely used, especially in companies that need to store water or produce liquid products. Aluminum alloy storage tanks are a relatively common type. They mainly use 5052 aluminum plates, h112 temper, mostly medium-thick aluminum plates. It has become one of the main materials in the storage tank industry and is widely used in chemical industry, food and other fields.

Haomei Aluminum is one of the big 5052 aluminum sheet suppliers. With the advanced equipment like 1+4, it can better ensure quality. Basically, the quality can be comparable to the international advanced level. At the same time, our 5052 aluminum sheet price is not very high.
