The Difference Between 5754 Aluminum Plate and 5083 Aluminum Plate

The Difference Between 5754 Aluminum Plate and 5083 Aluminum Plate

5754 aluminum plate and 5083 aluminum plate both belong to aluminum magnesium alloy aluminum plate. The main difference between the two is the magnesium alloy content, hardness, and elongation. The magnesium alloy content of 5754 aluminum plate is around 3%, while that of 5083 aluminum plate is as high as 4.5%. At the same time, the hardness of 5083 aluminum plate is higher than that of 5754 aluminum plate, and of course, the price of 5083 aluminum plate is also relatively high. The higher the content of magnesium alloy, the higher the hardness, so customers can choose 5754 aluminum plate or 5083 aluminum plate according to their actual needs.

5754 aluminum plate belongs to the Almg3 series, and the magnesium alloy content is higher than 5052 aluminum plate, which is slightly higher than 5052 aluminum plate. 5754 aluminum plate belongs to medium strength aluminum alloy plate, with a magnesium alloy content between 2.6 and 3.6. It has good rust and corrosion resistance, no color difference on the anodized surface, excellent processing performance, excellent corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength, high weldability, and medium static strength. It is widely used in welding structures, storage tanks, pressure vessels, ship structures and offshore facilities, automobile manufacturing, transportation tanks, etc. Due to its advantages in hardness and tensile strength, In recent days, there has been a significant usage of high-speed rail barrier panels.

5083-O state aluminum plate is softer in O state, while the can cover needs to be bent, and the partition part also uses 5083-O state. In addition, some manufacturers also use 5754H111 aluminum plates to produce tank bodies.The aluminum plates suitable for tank truck bodies are mainly related products of the 5 series and 6 series. The 5 series is an aluminum alloy with magnesium as the main alloying element, while the 6 series is an aluminum alloy with magnesium and silicon as the main alloying elements and Mg 2Si as the strengthening phase. The main alloy grades include: 5052 aluminum plate, 5083 aluminum plate, 5754 aluminum plate, 6061 aluminum plate, and 6082 aluminum plate.

5052 aluminum plate is an AL Mg alloy aluminum plate, which is the most widely used type of rust proof aluminum with high strength and corrosion resistance. But it cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. The plasticity is still good during semi cold work hardening, but low during cold work hardening and can be polished.

The magnesium alloy in 5083 aluminum plate has high strength, and the heat-treated alloy has good machinability, corrosion resistance, and welding performance. It is widely used in transportation vehicles, such as ships, airplanes, vehicles, and pressure vessels (tank trucks, refrigerated trucks, refrigerated containers), etc.

5754 aluminum plate has the characteristics of moderate strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability, and easy processing and forming, and is a typical alloy in the Al Mg series. In foreign countries, 5754 aluminum alloy sheets with different heat treatment states are the main materials used in the automotive manufacturing industry (car doors, molds, seals) and the can making industry.
