Taking 3003 aluminum sheet and 5052 aluminum sheet as an example, although one is 3 series aluminum sheet and the other is 5 series aluminum sheet, they are widely used, so do you know the difference between these two series of aluminum sheets?

1.From the chemical composition:

3003 aluminum sheet is aluminum-manganese alloy, while 5052 aluminum sheet is aluminum-magnesium alloy, one alloying element is manganese, and one alloying element is magnesium. The aluminum content of 3003 aluminum sheet is slightly higher than that of 5052 aluminum sheet

2.From the mechanical properties:

The tensile strength of 3003H24 aluminum sheet is 145-195Rm/MPa, while the tensile strength of 5052H24 aluminum sheet is as high as 230-280Rm/MPa, which is much higher than that of 3003H24 aluminum sheet;

The elongation strength of 3003H24 aluminum sheet is 115Rm/MPa, while that of 5052H24 aluminum sheet is 150Rm/MPa.

To sum up, the performance of 5052 aluminum sheet is obviously better than that of 3003 aluminum sheet.

3.From the common specifications:

3003 aluminum sheet is mainly thin plate, while 5052 aluminum sheet is widely used in addition to thin plate and thick plate.

4.From the scope of application:

3003 aluminum sheet is mainly used in humid environments, such as product packaging, refrigerators, air conditioners, cold storage, ventilation ducts, etc.

5052 aluminum sheet is commonly used in electrical enclosures, transportation vehicles, pressure vessels, etc., and is a common material for manufacturing automobiles, aircraft, fuel tanks, and fuel pipes.

5.From the price of aluminum sheet:

The price of 3003 aluminum sheet is slightly higher than that of pure aluminum sheet, while the price of 5052 aluminum sheet is higher than that of 3003 aluminum sheet.

3003 aluminum sheet and 5052 aluminum sheet are often used as anti-rust aluminum, but the difference between the two aluminum sheets is still obvious. I hope the above difference between the 3 series and the 5 series aluminum sheet can help everyone.
