The two grades of 3003 and 5052 are all aluminum plates that we usually use. The two products are also representative products of 3 series and 5 series aluminum plate products. Although they belong to aluminum alloy plates, the difference between the two is still very different. Big, let's take a closer look at the details below.

1. Different alloy compositions

The main alloying element of 3003  aluminum plate is manganese, which belongs to aluminum-manganese alloy series. The main alloying element of 5052  aluminum plate is magnesium, the 5 series belongs to aluminum-magnesium alloy series, and the aluminum content of 3003 aluminum plate is higher than that of 5052  aluminum plate.

2. The mechanical properties are different

 We can see the difference between 3003 H24 and 5053 H24. The tensile strength of 3003 H24 aluminum plate is 145-195Rm/MPa, while the tensile strength of 5052 H24 aluminum plate is up to 230-280Rm/MPa, which is higher than 3003H24 aluminum plate; the extension of two products The performance is also different. The elongation of the 3003H24 aluminum plate is 115Rm/MPa, and the extension strength of the 5052H24 aluminum plate is 150Rm/MPa. By comparison, we can see that the elongation performance of the 5052 alloy aluminum plate is significantly better than that of the 3003 alloy aluminum plate.

3. Common specifications are different

The 3003 alloy aluminum plate is mainly used for thin plates, but the practical application of thick plates is not much; while the 5052 alloy aluminum plate has wide application in thin and thick plates in the actual production and processing.

4. Different product uses

3003 alloy aluminum plate is usually used in humid environment, such as product packaging, refrigerator, air conditioner, cold storage, ventilation pipe and so on. The 5052 alloy aluminum plate is often used in electrical enclosures, transportation vehicles, pressure vessels, etc., and is commonly used in the manufacture of automobiles, aircraft fuel tanks, and oil pipes.

5. The price of aluminum plate is different

Compared with the price of 3003 alloy aluminum plate and 5052 alloy aluminum plate, the price of 5052 aluminum plate is obviously higher than that of 3003 aluminum plate. According to different specifications and thickness, the price of a ton of 5052 aluminum plate is about 2000-3000 yuan higher than the price of a ton of 3003 aluminum plate.

3003 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate Although we all use them as rust-proof aluminum plates, the difference between the two aluminum plates can be seen clearly. We must use the actual requirements according to our actual needs. The difference is chosen to ensure that the processing needs of our products are met.
