The difference between 3003 and 5052

The difference between 3003 and 5052

2018-11-19
                 3003 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate are the most common alloy aluminum plate on the market, is the two series aluminum plate the most representative 2 grades. Although it is widely used, many people are not aware of the difference between the two below take 3003H24 aluminum plate and 5052H24 aluminum plate as an example, for you to popularize this knowledge.

1. From the chemical composition, 3003 aluminum plate is aluminum manganese alloy, the main alloy element is manganese. 5052 aluminum plate is aluminum magnesium alloy, the main alloy element is magnesium.The aluminum content of 3003 aluminum plate is slightly higher than 5052 aluminum plate.

 2. From the mechanical properties, the tensile strength of the 3003H24 aluminum plate is 145-195rm/mpa, while the tensile strength of the 5052H24 aluminum plate is as high as 230-280rm/mpa, which is much higher than that of the 3003H24 aluminum plate; The extension strength of the 3003H24 aluminum plate is 115RM/MPA,and the extension strength of 5052H24 aluminum plate is 150RM/MPA.Therefore,the performance of 5052 aluminum plate is significantly better than 3003 aluminum plate.

3. From the commonly used specifications, 3003 aluminum plate mainly sheet, thick plate application is not much, and 5052 aluminum plate in addition to thin plate, thick board is also widely used.

 4. From the scope of application, 3003 aluminum plate is mainly used in humid environment, such as product packaging, refrigerators, air conditioners, cold storage, ventilation pipes and so on.And 5052 aluminum plate is commonly used in electrical housing, traffic vehicles, pressure vessels, etc., is the manufacture of automobiles, aircraft fuel tanks, tubing commonly used materials.

5. From the aluminum plate price, 3003 aluminum plate price is slightly higher than pure aluminum plate, and 5052 aluminum plate price is significantly higher than 3003 aluminum plate.According to different specifications and thickness, the price of a ton of 5052 aluminum plate is about 2000-3000 yuan higher than the price of a ton of 3003 aluminum plate.3003 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate although often used as anti-rust aluminum, but the difference between the two aluminum plate is still very obvious, enterprises must choose the right product according to the production needs.
