5454 vs 5182 Aluminum Plates: Technical Differences Explained
In recent years, aluminum alloys have been favored by more users as new high-quality materials, and have gradually replaced traditional materials in many fields. Among the 1-8 series aluminum alloys, the 5 series aluminum-magnesium alloys are particularly widely used, among which 5454 aluminum plate and 5182 aluminum plate are more representative products. Both have medium strength, good corrosion resistance, processability and weldability. But there are also many differences, let’s take a look.
The main alloying elements of 5454 aluminum plate and 5182 aluminum plate are magnesium, and the essential difference between the two lies in the composition and content of the alloying elements. The magnesium and manganese content of 5182 is higher than that of 5454, and there are also certain differences in performance and use.
5454 aluminum alloy:
Silicon Si: ≤0.25
Copper Cu: ≤0.10
Magnesium Mg: 2.4～3.0
Zinc Zn: ≤0.25
Manganese Mn: 0.50～1.0
Titanium Ti: ≤0.20
Chromium Cr: 0.05～0.20
Iron Fe: 0.000～0.400
Aluminum Al: Balance
5182 aluminum plate alloy:
Zinc Zn: ≤0.25
Chromium Cr: ≤0.10
Silicon Si: ≤0.20
Iron Fe: 0.000～0.350
Manganese Mn: 0.20～0.50
Magnesium Mg: 4.0～5.0
Titanium Ti: ≤0.10
Copper Cu: ≤0.15
Aluminum Al: Balance
Not only that, the two have different uses. 5454 aluminum plate is used in welded structures, pressure vessels, and marine facility pipelines. 5182 aluminum plate has a wide range of applications in both thick and thin plates. Thin plates are used to process can lids, automobile body panels, control panels, reinforcements, brackets and other parts.
