Knowledge

1060 aluminum sheet and 5052 aluminum sheet are currently the most mainstream and most commonly used two types of aluminum sheets. In many fields, the two aluminum sheets can be used universally, which has led many people to think that the performance of the two aluminum sheets is similar. In fact, both the chemical composition and the mechanical properties are very different, and the price gap is quite different.

1060 Aluminum Sheet

1060 aluminum sheet, commonly known as pure aluminum plate, is the most representative aluminum plate grade of 1 series aluminum plate. The aluminum content of 1060 aluminum sheet is 99.6%, and the other elements are 0.4%. The production process of 1060 aluminum sheet is relatively simple and the technology is mature. Compared with other alloy aluminum sheet, 1060 aluminum sheet has the most price advantage, the longest application time and the widest range.

The advantage of 1060 aluminum sheet is that it has high plasticity, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity, and is widely used in industries that do not require high strength. Strengthening, these shortcomings limit the application of 1060 aluminum sheet plate. The price of 1060 aluminum plate is much lower than that of 5052 alloy aluminum sheet

5052 Aluminum Sheet

5052 aluminum sheet is an aluminum-magnesium alloy formed by pure aluminum and a certain amount of magnesium. The aluminum content is about 96%, the magnesium content is 2.2% -2.8%, and the rest are other elements, such as silicon, copper, and iron. The aluminum-magnesium alloy has excellent performance and is regarded by the industry as "the most promising aluminum alloy". It is particularly widely used in high-tech fields.

5052 aluminum sheet is the representative of the 5 series aluminum-magnesium alloy. It has high strength, excellent fatigue resistance, high plasticity and corrosion resistance, good welding performance, and can be strengthened by cold treatment. In high-tech fields, complex environments, such as automotive parts, Shipbuilding and more.
