What Are The Features of 5052 And 6082 Aluminum Plate
EN stands for European Standard, and AW indicates that the alloy is forged, not cast. EN AW 5052 is a forged aluminum alloy. 5052 aluminum alloy is a commonly used Al-Mg aluminum alloy. It is composed of aluminum, magnesium and other components, and its main advantages are good corrosion resistance, high strength and good processing performance.
Since it has excellent resistance to seawater erosion in the marine environment, it is widely used in the manufacture of marine equipment, ship structures and offshore platforms. It has good tolerance to salt spray and atmospheric pollutants, so it can maintain good surface finish and appearance quality, and has good use effect in coastal areas and marine climate conditions.
It has good tolerance to some non-oxidizing acids (such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, etc.), and is suitable for equipment and containers in some chemical and acidic environments. It has a certain tolerance to alkaline media of a certain concentration (such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide solutions), and can be used in some alkaline environments.
It is worth noting that although 5052 aluminum alloy is corrosion-resistant to a certain extent, corrosion may still occur in some extreme corrosive environments (such as high concentrations of acid, alkali, chloride, etc.). Therefore, in specific applications, material selection and protective measures must be carried out according to actual conditions.
5052 aluminum sheet is cut by shearing machinery or shearing tools to obtain the required shape and size. During the stretching process, 5052 aluminum alloy can show excellent ductility. It can be welded by common welding methods such as TIG welding, MIG welding, arc welding, etc.
Electrophoretic coating is a coating method in which 5052 aluminum alloys are immersed in charged paint liquid and the paint liquid is deposited on the parts by an electric field. Electrophoretic coating can provide a uniform coating with good adhesion and weather resistance, enhancing the corrosion resistance and appearance of 5052 aluminum alloy.
The thickness of 6082 aluminum plate is more than 0.8mm, and it can be processed into T6 state, T651, H112 and other states. 6082 has many of the same uses as 6061, but customers in the Middle East prefer 6082. 6082 aluminum has a higher quenching sensitivity (compared to 6061), and it contains Mn, so it has better corrosion resistance and welding performance. 6082 is mostly used in ship plates and components on ocean ships. Haomei Aluminum is an 5052 and 6082-t6 aluminum plate exporter. Welcome to leave message below to inquire what you need.
