Both 5754 aluminum plates and 5052 aluminum plates fall within the 5 series aluminum-magnesium alloy category. The addition of magnesium makes them both common choices for rust-resistant aluminum plates. They exhibit medium strength, exceptional fatigue resistance, high plasticity, and corrosion resistance. Additionally, they are not heat-treatable but offer excellent welding properties. These attributes make them highly sought after in the automotive manufacturing industry, particularly as materials for fuel tanks. While both can be utilized for this purpose, there are distinct differences between 5754 and 5052 aluminum plates.
1.Chemical composition
The magnesium content of 5052 aluminum plate is slightly higher than that of 5754 aluminum plate, while the silicon content of 5754 aluminum plate is higher than that of 5052 aluminum plate. Therefore, the hardness of 5052 aluminum plate is higher than that of 5754 aluminum plate, but the corrosion resistance is slightly worse than that of 5754 aluminum plate.
