The difference between 5052 and 5754 aluminum sheets stems from chemical composition and ends with mechanical properties.
First, the difference in chemical composition
The magnesium content of 5052 is slightly higher than that of 5754, the hardness of 5052 is better, and the toughness of 5754 is better.
Second, specific to the application:
5052 aluminum sheet has good forming properties, corrosion resistance, weldability, and medium strength. It is used in the manufacture of aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipes, and sheet metal parts for transportation vehicles and ships, instruments, street lamp brackets and rivets, hardware products, electrical- device casing, etc. AL-Mn alloy is the most widely used anti-rust aluminum. This alloy has high strength, especially fatigue resistance: high plasticity and corrosion resistance, cannot be strengthened by heat treatment, and has good plasticity during semi-cold work hardening. , Low plasticity during cold work hardening, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, poor machinability, and polishable. Mainly used for low-load parts that require high plasticity and good weldability, working in liquid or gas medium, such as fuel tanks, gasoline or lubricating oil conduits, various liquid containers and other small-load parts made by deep drawing: Wire is used to make rivets.
5754 aluminum sheet has the highest strength, corrosion resistance and good weldability among non-heat treated alloy aluminum sheets. Its surface processing quality is outstanding and can be processed into a variety of different textures. Machinery such as brushing, sandblasting, grinding finishes, polishing and others are easily applied to the alloy with highly satisfactory results. Features of 5754 aluminum sheet:
1, with medium strength;
2. Good corrosion resistance;
3. Features such as weldability and easy processing.
The main purpose of 5754 aluminum sheet:
It is widely used in welded structures, storage tanks, pressure vessels, ship structures and offshore facilities, transportation tanks and equipment requiring excellent processing performance, excellent corrosion resistance and high fatigue strength.
