The Difference Between 3003 And 5052 Aluminum

Feb 28, 2024

The difference between 3003 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate is brought to us today.

After all, we all know that 3003 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate are the most common alloy aluminum plates on the market and one of the most representative aluminum alloy brands. Although they are widely used, many people do not know the difference between them. The following takes 3003H24 aluminum plate and 5052H24 aluminum plate as examples to popularize this knowledge.

The difference between 3003 and 5052 aluminum

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

2. From the perspective of mechanical properties, the tensile strength of 3003H24 aluminum plate is 145-195Rm/MPa, while the tensile strength of 5052H24 aluminum plate is as high as 230-280Rm/MPa, which is much higher than the tensile strength of 3003H24 aluminum plate. The tensile strength of 3003H24 aluminum plate is 115Rm/MPa, and the tensile strength of 5052H24 aluminum plate is 150Rm/MPa. Therefore, the performance of 5052 aluminum plate is significantly better than that of 3003 aluminum plate.
3. Judging from the common specifications, 3003 aluminum plates are mainly thin plates and have few applications; while 5052 aluminum plates are also widely used in addition to thin plates.

4. From the perspective of application scope, 3003 aluminum plates are mainly used in humid environments such as product packaging, refrigerators, air conditioners, cold storages, and ventilation ducts. 5052 aluminum plate is commonly used in electrical appliances, vehicles, pressure vessels, etc. It is a common material for manufacturing automobiles, aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipes, etc.

5. Looking at the price of aluminum plates, the price of 3003 aluminum plates is slightly higher than the price of pure aluminum plates, and the price of 5052 aluminum plates is significantly higher than the price of 3003 aluminum plates. Depending on the specifications and thickness, the price of a ton of 5052 aluminum plates is about 2,000-3,000 yuan higher than that of a ton of 3003 aluminum plates.

3003 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate are often used as anti-rust aluminum, but the difference between the two aluminum plates is very obvious, and companies must choose the appropriate product according to production needs.
