The difference between 5052 aluminum plate and 3003 aluminum plate - zhangmenghao - 07-30-2019

Among the existing eight-card aluminum plates, the 3 series and the 5 series are two series with a large amount of use, and the application industry is relatively wide. The 3 series aluminum plate is also called aluminum manganese alloy. The most widely used is 3003 aluminum plate. The 5 series aluminum plate is also called aluminum magnesium alloy. The most used is 5083 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate. As the two most used alloy aluminum plates, what is the specific difference between the 5083 aluminum plate and the 3003 aluminum plate?
Aluminum-manganese alloy: 3003 aluminum plate has good rust resistance, good formability, high corrosion resistance and high strength.
Aluminum-magnesium alloy: 5083 aluminum plate is light in weight, high in strength, corrosion-resistant, easy to paint, low in density, good in heat dissipation and strong in compression resistance. It can fully meet the requirements of 3C products with high integration, thin and light, miniaturization, anti-collision and electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation. Its hardness is several times that of a conventional plastic case, but it weighs only one-third of the latter.
In practical applications, 3 series aluminum plates are often used in applications requiring anti-corrosion and anti-rust properties, such as pipeline insulation and cold storage ground anti-skid construction; 5 series aluminum panels are more used in manufacturing industries, such as ships, automobiles, radiators, etc. It is more widely used and has more commonly used grades.

The 5052 aluminum plate and the 3003 aluminum plate are the most common alloy aluminum plates on the market, and are the two most representative two-plate aluminum plates. Both types of aluminum plates are widely used. Next, take the 5052H24 aluminum plate and the 3003H24 aluminum plate as an example to introduce the difference between the two:
1. From the chemical composition:
The 5052 aluminum plate is an aluminum-magnesium alloy and the main alloying element is magnesium. The 3003 aluminum plate is an aluminum-manganese alloy, the main alloying element is manganese, and the aluminum content of the 3003 aluminum plate is slightly higher than that of the 5052 aluminum plate.
2, from the mechanical properties:
The tensile strength of 3003H24 aluminum plate is 145-195Rm/MPa, while the tensile strength of 5052H24 aluminum plate is as high as 230-280Rm/MPa, which is much higher than 3003H24 aluminum plate;
The elongation of the 3003H24 aluminum plate is 115Rm/MPa, and the extension strength of the 5052H24 aluminum plate is 150Rm/MPa.
Therefore, the performance of the 5052 aluminum plate is significantly better than the 3003 aluminum plate.
3, from the common specifications:
The 3003 aluminum plate is mainly made of thin plates, and the application of thick plates is not much; and the 5052 aluminum plate is widely used in addition to thin plates and thick plates.
4. From the scope of application:
5052 aluminum plate is commonly used in electrical enclosures, transportation vehicles, pressure vessels, etc. It is a common material for manufacturing automobiles, aircraft fuel tanks and oil pipes.
3003 aluminum plate is mainly used in humid environment, such as product packaging, refrigerator, air conditioner, cold storage, ventilation pipe and so on.
5, from the price of aluminum plate:
The price of the 3003 aluminum plate is slightly higher than that of the pure aluminum plate, and the price of the 5052 aluminum plate is significantly higher than that of the 3003 aluminum plate.
Depending on the size and thickness, the price of a ton of 5052 aluminum sheet is higher than the price of a ton of 3003 aluminum sheet.
Although the 5052 aluminum plate and the 3003 aluminum plate are often used as rust-proof aluminum, the difference between the two aluminum plates is still very obvious. The enterprise must select the appropriate aluminum plate product according to the production needs. I hope that the difference between the 5052 aluminum plate and the 3003 aluminum plate can help. To everyone.
