Both 5052 aluminium sheet plate and 3003 aluminum sheet are the most common and widely used alloy aluminum plates on the market and are the two most representative grades of two-series aluminum.
From the price of aluminum, 3003 aluminum is slightly higher than the price of pure aluminum, while the 5052 aluminum price is significantly higher than the 3003 aluminum. According to different specifications and thickness, a ton of 5052 aluminum price is higher than the a ton of 3003 aluminum price.
From the chemical composition, 3003 alloy aluminum sheet is aluminum Mn alloy, main alloy element is Mn.5052 aluminum plate is aluminum magnesium alloy, main alloy elements is Mg.aluminum alloy sheet 3003 aluminum content is slightly higher than the aluminium 5052 sheet.
From the mechanical properties, the tensile strength of 3003 H24 aluminum plate is 145-195Rm / MPa, while the tensile strength of 5052 H24 aluminum plate is as high as 230-280Rm / MPa which is much higher than that of 3003 H24 aluminum plate; the elongation strength of 3003 H24 aluminum plate is 115Rm / MPa, while that of 5052 H24 The extension strength of aluminum plate is 150Rm / MPa. Therefore, the performance of 5052 aluminum is obviously better than 3003 aluminum.
From the commonly used specifications, 3003 aluminum sheet to the main plate is not much use; and 5052 aluminum sheet plate is also widely used.
From the scope of application, 3003 alloy aluminum sheet is mainly used in humid environments, such as product packaging, refrigerators, air conditioners, cold storage, ventilation ducts and so on. The 5052 marine grade aluminium alloy sheet commonly used in electrical enclosures, transport vehicles, pressure vessels, etc., is the manufacture of vehicles, tubing commonly used materials.
