5454 vs 5052 Aluminum: Tensile Strength & Uses Compared
Both 5454 aluminum sheet and 5052 aluminum sheet belong to the 5 series aluminum-magnesium alloy sheet. The main alloying element is magnesium, with a content of 3-5%. The main characteristics of this series of alloys are low density, light weight, high tensile strength, good anti-rust effect, and high elongation. They can be used as anti-rust aluminum sheets and are also ideal materials for lightweight automobiles. So what is the difference between the two? Next, Henan Mingtai Aluminum will give you a brief analysis.
The magnesium content of 5454 aluminum sheet is 2.4-3.0%, and it also contains a small amount of silicon, copper, zinc, manganese and other elements. The tensile strength is greater than 215MPa, which is about 20% higher than the strength of 5052 aluminum sheet. Its characteristics are roughly the same as 5154, but its corrosion resistance in harsh environments is better than that of 5154 aluminum sheet. 5454 aluminum plate has excellent ductility and high strength. It is usually used in fuel tanks, tank truck barrels, marine facility pipelines, automobile wheels and other fields, which is very helpful for reducing the weight of automobiles.
The magnesium content of 5052 aluminum plate is between 2.2-2.8%, and the tensile strength is 170-305MPa. Compared with 5454 aluminum plate, it has a wider range of uses, especially in the construction industry. It is also commonly used in automobile fuel tanks, oil pipes, transportation vehicles, ship sheet metal parts, mechanical instruments, hardware and electrical appliances and other fields. In addition, there is a certain difference in the price of the two.
5454 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate are both Mingtai Aluminum‘s advantageous products, and both have high annual sales. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of aluminum-magnesium alloy production technology and the reduction of production costs, people’s demand for 5 series alloys has continued to rise. As a large domestic aluminum plate manufacturer, Mingtai Aluminum produces aluminum plates with stable quality and mature technology, so you can buy them with confidence!
