What is the difference between 5052 aluminum plate and 5754 aluminum plate?
August 2022
Both the 5052 aluminum plate and the 5754 aluminum plate belong to the 5 series aluminum-magnesium alloy, with medium strength and excellent comprehensive performance. So what are the differences between them? Let's compare from three aspects:
1. The chemical composition is different
The magnesium content of 5754 aluminum plate is higher than that of 5052, so the machinability is better. The silicon content of 5754 aluminum plate is also more than that of 5052. The silicon content affects the forging function and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy, so 5754 aluminum plate has better forging function and corrosion resistance.
2. Different uses
5052 aluminum plate has good forming performance, corrosion resistance, weldability, medium strength. And 5052 aluminium is used to manufacture aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipes, and sheet metal parts of transportation vehicles and ships, instruments, street lamp brackets and rivets, hardware products , Electrical appppliances shell etc. 5754 aluminum sheet is widely used in welded structures, storage tanks, pressure vessels, ship structures and offshore facilities, transportation tanks, and for applications requiring excellent processability, excellent corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength, high weldability and moderate static strength.
3. The price is different.
Generally, the price of 5754 aluminum plate is higher than that of 5052 aluminum plate under the same specifications in the market.
