Champak Industries is one of leading supplier of 5052 aluminium Plates SIZES OF 5052 PLATE 3/8", 1/2" X 48", 60" X 144. 5052 aluminum plate exhibits higher corrosion resistance than other aluminum alloys, and a higher strength than 3003 aluminum plate. Additionally, it maintains a superior resistance to salt water, making it a popular material for marine applications. 5052 aluminum plate is easy to form, stamp, weld and finish. With the proper setup, it has fair machinability.
Reading the text: “Sizes of 5052 plate 3/8", 1/2" X 48", 60" X 144"” lists thicknesses of 3/8 and 1/2 inch, widths of 48 and 60 inch and a length of 144 inch.
5052 Aluminium Plates: Purchasing Specification
| Requirement | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Alloy and temper | State both, for example 5083-H116 or 6061-T651; properties depend on the temper. |
| Standard | ASTM B209 / ASME SB209 for plate and sheet, or EN 485 / EN 573; ASTM B928 for marine-service plate in the high-magnesium alloys, as the pages cite. |
| Dimensions | Thickness × width × length in mm or inches; number of plates or total weight. |
| Cutting | Sawing or waterjet cutting to your drawing; give tolerances and edge finish. |
| Welding | Weldability depends on the alloy: the 5xxx and 6xxx alloys weld readily, while high-strength 2xxx and 7xxx alloys are generally not arc-welded. State the process. |
| Documents | Mill test certificate (EN 10204 3.1) with chemistry, temper and mechanical properties. |
Applications
5052 aluminum plate is used for products that require high strength in corrosive environments, including: Fuel tanks, Truck and trailer side panels, Small boat hulls, Truck cabs, Bumpers, Storage tanks, Pressurevessels.
Typical Chemical Properties
| Silicon, Max % | 0.25 |
| Iron, Max % | 0.4 |
| Copper, Max % | 0.10 |
| Manganese, Max % | 0.10 |
| Magnesium, Max % | 2.8 |
| Chromium, Max % | 0.35 |
| Zinc, Max % | 0.10 |
| Titanium, Max % | N/A |
Reading the table: Values are maximum percentages. Alloy 5052 normally has a magnesium range of about 2.2–2.8%, so “2.8 max” is the upper limit.
Typical Mechanical Properties
| Tensile Strength ksi | 170 |
| Yield 0.2% Offset ksi | 70 |
| Elongation | N/A |
Units: “Tensile Strength ksi 170” and “Yield 70” cannot be ksi, because 170 ksi is stronger than any aluminium alloy. The unit and temper are not stated, so ask for the strength values of your temper on the certificate.
How the Eighteen Aluminium Alloys Differ
The eighteen pages cover aluminium alloys from several families. The 1xxx, 3xxx and 5xxx alloys are non-heat-treatable and gain strength by cold work, while the 2xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx alloys are heat-treatable. The 5xxx magnesium alloys are the usual marine and welded-structure choice; the 2xxx and 7xxx alloys are the high-strength aerospace alloys.
| Alloy | Family and hardening | Typical use (from the pages) |
|---|---|---|
| 1050A | 1xxx pure aluminium (99.5%), non-heat-treatable | General sheet-metal work, packaging, heat transfer, kitchenware |
| 1350 | 1xxx electrical-grade aluminium (99.5% min), non-heat-treatable | Transformer and switchgear conductors |
| 2024 | 2xxx aluminium-copper, heat-treatable | Aircraft structure, precision fittings, truck wheels |
| 2124 | 2xxx aluminium-copper, high-purity 2024, heat-treatable | Machined fuselage bulkheads, military aircraft wing skins |
| 2219 | 2xxx aluminium-copper, heat-treatable | Space boosters, fuel tanks, high-temperature structures |
| 3003 | 3xxx aluminium-manganese, non-heat-treatable | Heat exchangers, catwalks, food and chemical equipment, roofing |
| 5052 (this page) | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium, non-heat-treatable | Fuel tanks, truck panels, small boat hulls, pressure vessels |
| 5083 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (4.0–4.9% Mg) | LNG ships, pressure vessels, storage tanks, welded structures |
| 5086 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (3.5–4.5% Mg) | Shipyard work, tank cars, patrol and work-boat hulls |
| 5154 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (3.1–3.9% Mg) | Wire, rivets and cold-heading applications |
| 5454 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (2.4–3.0% Mg) | Road transport, chemical plant, pressure vessels, marine and off-shore |
| 5456 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (about 5% Mg) | Welded structures, low-temperature service |
| 5754 | 5xxx aluminium-magnesium (2.6–3.6% Mg) | Treadplate, shipbuilding, vehicle bodies, food processing |
| 6061-T6 | 6xxx aluminium-magnesium-silicon, heat-treatable | Tooling plate, architectural, transport, welded structures |
| 7050 | 7xxx aluminium-zinc-magnesium-copper, heat-treatable | Aerospace fuselage frames and bulkheads |
| 7075 | 7xxx aluminium-zinc, heat-treatable | Airframe structures and highly stressed parts |
| 7175 | 7xxx aluminium-zinc, heat-treatable forging alloy | Structural fittings, bolts and rivets |
| 7475 | 7xxx aluminium-zinc, controlled toughness, heat-treatable | Wing spars and fuselage bulkheads |
State the alloy, temper and standard on your enquiry. Families are summarised for orientation; the mill certificate gives the actual chemistry and properties.
