3003 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate are the most common alloy aluminum plates on the market, and they are the two most representative grades of the two series of aluminum plates. Although they are widely used, many people do not know the difference between the two. Below, take 3003H24 aluminum plate and 5052H24 aluminum plate as examples to popularize this knowledge for everyone.
1. From the chemical composition, the 3003 aluminum plate is an aluminum-manganese alloy, and the main alloying element is manganese. 5052 aluminum plate is an aluminum-magnesium alloy, and the main alloying element is magnesium. The aluminum content of 3003 aluminum plate is slightly higher than that of 5052 aluminum plate.
2. In terms of mechanical properties, the tensile strength of 3003H24 aluminum plate is 145-195Rm/MPa, while the tensile strength of 5052H24 aluminum plate is as high as 230-280Rm/MPa, which is much higher than that of 3003H24 aluminum plate;the elongation strength of the 3003H24 aluminum plate is 115Rm/MPa, while the elongation strength of the 5052H24 aluminum plate is 150Rm/MPa. Therefore, the performance of 5052 aluminum plate is significantly better than that of 3003 aluminum plate.
3. From the common specifications, the 3003 aluminum plate is mainly thin plate, and the application of thick plate is not much;in addition to thin plates, 5052 aluminum plates are also widely used in thick plates.
4. From the scope of application, 3003 aluminum plate is mainly used in humid environments, such as product packaging, refrigerators, air conditioners, cold storage, ventilation ducts and so on. The 5052 aluminum plate is often used in electrical enclosures, transportation vehicles, pressure vessels, etc., and is a common material for the manufacture of automobiles, aircraft fuel tanks, and fuel pipes.
5. From the price of aluminum plate, 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. According to different specifications and thicknesses, the price of one ton of 5052 aluminum plate is about 2000-3000 yuan higher than that of one ton of 3003 aluminum plate.
Although 3003 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate are often used as anti-rust aluminum, the difference between the two aluminum plates is still obvious. Enterprises must choose suitable products according to production needs.
