The Difference Between 5052 Aluminum Sheet and 5083 Aluminum Sheet

The metal content, especially the Mn and Mg content, varies greatly, with 5083 having higher tensile strength and yield strength than 5052.

Five series: The 5000 series aluminum alloy represents the 5052, 5005, 5083, and 5A05 series. The weight of aluminum magnesium alloy is lower than other series under the same area. It is also widely used in conventional industries. The 5000 (such as 5005) series aluminum plate is one of the more mature aluminum plate series in China. The main characteristics are low density, high tensile strength, high elongation, and good fatigue strength, but cannot be strengthened by heat treatment.

5052 has good formability, corrosion resistance, workability, fatigue strength, and moderate static strength. Used for manufacturing aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipes, as well as sheet metal parts for transportation vehicles and ships, instruments, street light brackets and rivets, and hardware products.

5083 is used in situations where high corrosion resistance, good weldability, and moderate strength are required, such as welding parts for ships, cars, and aircraft panels, pressure vessels that require strict fire protection, refrigeration devices, television towers, drilling equipment, transportation equipment, missile components, armor, etc.
