5052 Aluminum sheet is alloyed with 2.5% magnesium. Tensile strength range is 31 to 44 KSI. 5052 Aluminum sheet has excellent workability, weldability and corrosion resisitance. Aluminum alloy 5052 aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion, also referred to as a rust-proof aluminum. 5052 Aluminium sheet has the properties of cold workability, good molding processability and corrosion resistance. It has high fatigue and medium static strength. Besides, plasticity and high corrosion resistance is also its highlights. The plastic is still good when hardened in the semi-cold. 5052 Aluminum plate also has excellent thermal conductivity and low density, which is frequently found with other aluminum alloys. Aluminum sheet 5052 aluminum is also easily machinable and weldable. It's widely used because of its formability and durability. It can be used in marine environments without worry of corrosion. 5052 Aluminium sheet can be purchased at a range of sizes. 

Mechanical Features for 5052 marine grade aluminum sheet

(1) Formability

1. 5052 marine grade aluminum sheet plate has a good plasticity. The forging and die forging temperatures are 420 to 475 ° C, and the deformation rate is >80% thermal deformation in this temperature range.

2 The cold stamping performance is related to the alloy state. The cold stamping performance in the annealing (O) state is good, the H32 and H34 states are second, and the H36/H38 state is not good.

(2) Welding performance

1 The 5052 marine grade aluminum sheet plate has good gas welding, arc welding, electric resistance welding, spot welding and seam welding, and there is a tendency of crystal cracks during the argon arc welding. The brazing performance is good and the soldering performance is poor.

2 The strength and plasticity of the weld are high, and the weld strength is 90%~95% of the strength of the base metal. However, the airtightness of the weld is not high. It is recommended to use 5A03 alloy as the solder to improve the airtightness and eliminate the tendency of cracks.

(3) Machinability

The 5052 marine grade aluminum sheet has an inferior machinability in the annealed state and an improvement in the cold hardening state.

Application for 5052 marine grade aluminum sheet plate

The main alloying element of 5052 aluminum sheet plate is magnesium, which has good forming and processing properties, corrosion resistance, weldability and medium strength. It is used as a raw material for aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipes, ivets, hardware, electric-shells, and sheet metal parts for transportation vehicles and ships, instruments and street lamp brackets etc.
