The 5052 aluminum sheet price varies by region, specification (thickness, width, length), surface treatment method (such as anodizing, brushing, spraying, etc.) and purchase volume. According to recent market data (April 2025),. Generally speaking, the price of 5052 aluminum sheet may fluctuate between US$3,000 and US$3,500 per ton, but the specific price needs to refer to the current market conditions and supplier quotations.
Processing and customization prices:
- Processing services such as cutting, laser engraving, and anodizing will increase costs, and the unit price may increase by 10%-30%.
- Small batch customization (such as non-standard size, special surface treatment) is more expensive, and some suppliers can quote up to 4,000 dollars/ton or more.
5052 aluminum sheet can be divided into the following forms according to its use and processing requirements:
1. Classification by state:
- O state (annealed state): good ductility, suitable for stamping and stretching.
- H32 state: semi-hard state, with both strength and processability, widely used in sheet metal processing.
- H34 state: hard state, higher strength, suitable for scenes with high requirements for mechanical properties.
2. Classification by thickness:
- Thin sheet: thickness 0.3-1.5mm, used for electronic and electrical housings, decorative panels, etc.
- Medium and thick plate: thickness 1.5-6mm, used in ships, machinery, construction and other fields.
- Thick plate: thickness above 6mm, used for heavy structural parts.
3. Classification by surface treatment:
- Light aluminum: untreated surface, suitable for scenes requiring subsequent processing.
- Anodizing: improves corrosion resistance and aesthetics, often used in electronic equipment housings.
- Wire drawing, spraying: improves appearance and feel, suitable for decoration, signboards and other fields.
4. Classification by shape:
- Flat plate: the most common form, suitable for most processing needs.
- Coil: suitable for continuous processing, such as pipe insulation, decorative aluminum coils, etc.
- Special-shaped plate: customized shape according to demand, such as checkered aluminum plate, embossed aluminum plate, etc.
Due to its good mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and processability, 5052 aluminum plate is widely used in the following fields:
- Shipbuilding: hull, deck, etc.
- Machinery manufacturing: equipment housing, structural parts, etc.
- Electronic appliances: chassis, heat sink, housing, etc.
- Architectural decoration: curtain walls, ceilings, signboards, etc.
- Transportation: automotive parts, rail vehicle interiors, etc.
