In the process of aluminum sheet processing, various alloying elements are added to achieve some special mechanical properties of the aluminum sheet. It can be roughly divided into 7 series. For example, 2024 alloy belong to 2xxx series, 3003 aluminium is 3000 series and 5052 h32 aluminum sheet is 5000 alloy.
The 1000 series are pure aluminum plate such as 1060. The aluminum content is above 99%. It has good electrical conductivity and cheap price, which is often used in transformer and packaging.
The 2000 series are aluminum sheets with copper as the main alloying element. The copper content can reach 2%-5%, or higher, depending on the specific application. The hardness of the 2000 series is much higher than that of other grades. Because the aluminum alloy plate of the 2000 series is commonly used in aerospace, it is also called aviation aluminum.
Due to the fact that it is not widely used in civilian use, there are currently fewer factories producing 2000 series. Haomei Aluminum is one of the 2xxx alloys. At the same time, its price is also very high.
The 3000 series is an alloy aluminum plate with manganese as the main alloying element. The content of manganese is between 2-5%. The typical one is 3003 h14 aluminum sheet. It has excellent anti-rust performance, which is widely used in humid environments such as air conditioners and refrigerators. Compared with 5xxx alloys, its price has a great advantage.
5052h32 aluminum sheet is a typical aluminum sheet. Its specific gravity is light, the specific gravity of the 5052 aluminum plate is 2.68, and the weight of the 5052 aluminum plate under the same area is lower than that of other grades of aluminum plate.
The tensile strength of 5052 is higher in the same specification of aluminum plate, and it has better anti-deformation ability. The elongation rate of 5052 aluminum plate is 15-30%, which can ensure the good effect of stamping and bending.
Its main alloying element is magnesium, which has the excellent properties of magnesium, and it has good anti-corrosion and anti-rust effects, which is incomparable to the 3003 series. 5052 aluminum is often used in aircraft fuel tanks, precision electronic components, hardware building materials, security doors, etc.
The 7000 series’ advantages is mainly reflected in the hardness, the performance is very close to the 2000 series. The 8000 series is mainly represented by 8011 aluminum foil, which is mainly used for packaging.
Haomei Aluminum has 1-8 aluminum alloys in different forms like aluminum sheet, coil and foil. Welcome to leave message below to inquire aluminum 3003 price.
