What is the difference between 5052 aluminum plate and 6061 aluminum plate?

5052 aluminum plate and 6061 aluminum plate are both aluminum plates we often use. Although they are both alloy aluminum plates, they still have obvious differences.

The first is the difference in alloying elements. The alloying element of 5052 is magnesium, and the element of 6061 alloy contains silicon in addition to magnesium. In addition, the processing state is also different. In addition to the O state of both the 6061 aluminum plate and the 5052 aluminum plate, the 6061 aluminum plate is generally in the T6 and T651 state, and the 5052 aluminum plate is generally in the H112, H24, and H32 state.

The difference in processing state and alloying elements makes these two aluminum sheets different from performance to use.

5052 aluminum plate has a wide range of applications. It has fatigue resistance, high plasticity and corrosion resistance, and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. It has good plasticity during semi-cold work hardening, low plasticity during cold work hardening, good corrosion resistance, and good weldability, but the machinability is not good and can be polished.

6061 aluminum plate has good corrosion resistance, weldability and good oxidation effect.

It is widely used in various industrial structural parts that require certain strength and high corrosion resistance.

The 6061 aluminum plate is mostly used in places with high requirements for strength, and the 5052 aluminum plate is a rust-proof aluminum alloy, which is mostly used in environments with rust-proof requirements.
