2024-06-21 16:37:15

5052 aluminum alloy and 6061 aluminum alloy are the two most commonly used aluminum alloy grades. Compared with 6061 aluminum plate, 5052 aluminum plate is easier to shape and process, and has stronger plasticity, while 6061 aluminum plate is more suitable for industries with high strength requirements. The two aluminum plates cannot be directly distinguished by the naked eye in appearance, but the difference between 5052 aluminum plate and 6061 aluminum plate is obviously.

Common tempers of 5052 aluminum alloy plates are: H112, H24, H32;

Common tempers of 6061 aluminum alloy plates are: T6 and T651;

5052 aluminum plates can be bent, 6061 aluminum plates have high hardness and are generally used for abrasives. Both have good oxidation effects.

Performance of 5052 aluminum plates and 6061 aluminum plates

5052 aluminum alloy has the characteristics of fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, good welding performance, good plasticity, and polishability; 5052 aluminum plates are rust-proof aluminum alloys and are mostly used in environments with rust-proof requirements.

6061 aluminum alloy has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, weldability, and good oxidation effect; 6061 aluminum plates are mostly used in places with high strength requirements.

Scope of application of 5052 aluminum plates and 6061 aluminum plates

5052 aluminum sheet is a rust-proof aluminum alloy, so it is generally used in environments with high rust-proof requirements, such as trolley cases, fuel tank materials, LCD back panels, tank materials, door panels, high-voltage switch housings, etc.

6061 aluminum sheet is generally used in places with high strength requirements, such as mobile phone card slots, buttons, computer brackets, computer shells and other 3C fields.
