5052 Aluminum sheet plate VS 3003 aluminum sheet plate

5052 aluminum sheet plate and 3003 aluminum sheet plate are the most common alloy aluminum plates on the market, and they are the two most representative alloy aluminum plates of these two aluminum alloy series. 5052 aluminum plate and 3003 aluminum plate are often used as rust-proof aluminum, but the difference between these two aluminum plates is still obvious. The following is a comparative introduction of 5052 and 3003 aluminum plate.

1.Chemical composition:

5052 aluminum sheet plate is an aluminum-magnesium alloy, the main alloying element is magnesium, and the magnesium content is 2.2-2.8%; 3003 aluminum sheet plate is an aluminum-manganese alloy, the main alloying element is manganese, and the manganese content is 1.0-1.5%. The aluminum content of 3003 aluminum plate is slightly higher than that of 5052 aluminum plate.

2.Mechanical properties:

3003 aluminum sheet plate properties:

• – Good corrosion resistance. Due to the addition of manganese, 3003 aluminum plate can be used in container products for chemical substances such as nitric acid, phosphoric acid and other chemical substances, such as pipe insulation aluminum jacketing products, etc.
• – Good welding performance and stamping performance. 3003 aluminum plate is widely used in new energy vehicle power battery housing products.
• – Good heat dissipation performance. 3003 aluminum sheet is widely used in radiator products, such as fins, water-cooling plate products, etc.
• – Good processability and excellent painting performance. 3003 aluminum plate is often processed into sheet metal products and used in curtain wall materials.

5052 aluminum sheet plate properties:

• – Excellent corrosion resistance. 5052 aluminum plate is mainly used in places with high anti-corrosion requirements, such as at sea, are processed into sheet metal products for ships, anti-skid aluminum plates for ships, etc.
• – Good processing performance and welding performance. 5052 aluminum plate coil are widely used in automobile fuel tanks, automobile parts, electrical appliance casings, inverter casings, street lamp brackets, hardware products, etc.
• – High fatigue resistance. The cold drawing performance is related to the alloy temper. The cold drawing performance in the annealed (O) temper is good, followed by the H32 and H34 tempers, and the H36/H38 temper is poor.

3. Common specifications:

3003 aluminum plate is mainly thin plates, and thick plates are not widely used; while 5052 aluminum plate is widely used in thin plates and thick plates.

4. Application range:

5052 aluminum plate is commonly used in electrical casings, transportation vehicles, pressure vessels, etc. It is a common material for manufacturing automobiles and aircraft fuel tanks and oil pipes. 3003 aluminum plates are mainly used in humid environments, such as product packaging, refrigerators, air conditioners, cold storages, ventilation ducts, etc.

5. Price:

The price of 3003 aluminum plate is slightly higher than that of pure aluminum plate, while the price of 5052 aluminum plate is significantly higher than that of 3003 aluminum plate. Depending on the thickness and specifications, under the same specification, the price of 5052 aluminum plate is about 280 USD higher than that of 3003 aluminum plate.
