Introduction

5052 aluminum plate is widely recognized for its superior strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and high fatigue strength. This makes it a favored choice in various industrial and commercial applications. The alloy is known for its ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions and is often used in marine environments due to its resistance to saltwater.

Properties of 5052 Aluminum Plate

5052 aluminum is an alloy primarily composed of aluminum with magnesium and chromium as the main alloying elements. The key properties include:

• Tensile Strength: Approximately 210 MPa (30,000 psi)
• Yield Strength: Approximately 140 MPa (20,000 psi)
• Elongation: Up to 12-20% depending on the temper and thickness
• Density: 2.68 g/cm³ (0.0975 lb/in³)
• Melting Point: 605 °C (1121 °F)
• Modulus of Elasticity: 70 GPa (10,000 ksi)

Applications of 5052 Aluminum Plate

Due to its favorable properties, 5052 aluminum plate is used in a wide range of applications, including:

Marine Industry

The high corrosion resistance of 5052 makes it ideal for use in marine environments. It is commonly used in the construction of boat hulls, decks, and other components exposed to saltwater.

Aerospace Industry

Lightweight and durable, 5052 aluminum plate is used in aircraft fuel tanks and other components where reducing weight without sacrificing strength is critical.

Automotive Industry

Automotive manufacturers utilize 5052 alloy for parts that require high strength and resistance to fatigue, such as fuel tanks and body panels.

Architectural Applications

Used in facades, decorative panels, and structures requiring formability and corrosion resistance, 5052 is a popular choice in architectural design.
