3003 and 5052 aluminum plates are the most common alloy 4 x 8 aluminum sheet, but many people do not know the difference between the two. Take 3003 h24, aluminum and 5052 h24 aluminum plates as examples to explain this knowledge.

1. From the chemical composition of 3003 aluminum, it is an aluminum-manganese alloy, and the main alloying element is manganese. 5052 aluminum plate is an aluminum-magnesium alloy, and the main alloying element is magnesium. The aluminum content of 3003 aluminum is slightly higher than that of 5052 aluminum.

2. From the point of view of mechanical properties, the tensile strength of 3003H24 aluminum is 145-195Rm/MPa, while the tensile strength of 5052H24 aluminum is as high as 230-280Rm/MPa, which is much higher than that of 3003H24 aluminum; the tensile strength of 3003H24 aluminum plate is 115Rm /MPa, the tensile strength of 5052H24 aluminum plate is 150Rm/MPa. Therefore, the performance of 5052 aluminum is significantly better than that of 3003 aluminum.

3. The commonly used specifications of 3003 aluminum plate are mainly thin plates, and the application of thick plates is seldom; and 5052 aluminum plates are also widely used in addition to thin plates.

4. In terms of scope, 3003 1/8 aluminum sheet is mainly used in humid environments, such as product packaging, refrigerators, air conditioners, refrigerators, ventilation ducts, etc. The 5052 aluminum plate is often used in electrical enclosures, transportation vehicles, pressure vessels, etc., and is a common material for the manufacture of automobiles, aircraft fuel tanks, and fuel pipes.
