GNEE's 5052 aluminum sheet is a hot-selling product, exported to more than 160 countries all over the world, with a thickness range of 0.2-0.8mm and a width of 100-2650mm. it can be used for aircraft fuel tanks, shutters, refrigerator liners and panels. It meets AMS QQ-A-250/8 and ASTM B209.
1. 5052 aluminum plate is highly corrosion resistant.
5052 Aluminum sheet it is an alloy containing 0.25% chromium and 2.5% magnesium. It is widely used due to its moldability and durability. It has high fatigue and moderate static strength. It can be used in marine environments without fear of corrosion. This metal also has excellent thermal conductivity and low density, which is common in other aluminum alloys. Its fatigue properties and endurance limits are excellent. The endurance limit is 125 MPa under H34 temper and 115 MPa under H32 temper.
2.5052 aluminum plate can be cold work hardened.
Aluminum plate manufacturers can harden the alloy by cold working when needed. 5052 aluminum plate cannot be hardened using heat treatment. This grade of aluminum has better resistance in marine environments compared to 5005 alloy plate. It also has excellent corrosion resistance when used in weakly alkaline conditions. There is a protective surface film on 5052 aluminum sheet that makes the metal corrosion resistant. When damage occurs, a rapid reaction between the aluminum and oxygen repairs it. If the film cannot be repaired, the base metal may corrode quickly. To prevent this, the metal can be anodized, which will thicken the protective surface film.
3.5052 Aluminum Plate Heat Treatment
Not only that, but 5052 aluminum plate can be heat treated, which should be done at 653 degrees Fahrenheit; the rate and time of cooling at this temperature is not important. Stress relieving is seldom needed, but can be done at 428 degrees Fahrenheit. Stress relieving should be used when loss of strength is a concern. This metal is also easy to machine and weld.
