1100 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate are two aluminum plates commonly used in civil and industrial fields. In many fields, these two aluminum plates can be commonly used. It is difficult to say which one is better. Their difference lies in the chemical composition and mechanical properties, which mainly depends on specific occasion.
1. 1100 aluminum plate
1100 is industrial pure aluminum with an aluminum content (mass fraction) of 99.00%. It cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. It has high corrosion resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, low density, and good plasticity. It can produce various aluminum materials through pressure processing, but The strength is low, and other process properties are basically the same as 1050A.
1100 aluminum plate is usually used in applications requiring good formability, high corrosion resistance and high strength, such as food and chemical processing and storage equipment, metal plate products, hollow hardware processed by tensile product spinning, welding combination keys, reflective devices, nameplates, etc.
2. 5052 aluminum plate
5052 aluminum plate is an aluminum-magnesium alloy formed by pure aluminum and some amount of magnesium. The aluminum content is about 96%, the magnesium content is between 2.2%-2.8%, and the rest is other elements such as silicon, copper and iron. Aluminum-magnesium The alloy has excellent properties and is hailed as a "promising aluminum alloy" by the industry. It is widely used in high-tech fields.
5052 aluminum plate is the representative of the 5 series aluminum-magnesium alloy. It has high strength, good fatigue resistance, high plasticity and corrosion resistance, good weldability, and can be strengthened by cold treatment. It is widely used in high-tech fields, complex environments, Aerospace fields, such as automobile parts, shipbuilding, aircraft fuel tank oil pipes, etc.
The mechanical properties of 5052 aluminum plate are much higher than that of 1100 aluminum plate, but the price is higher than 1100. In the processing field that requires higher performance of aluminum plate, 5052 aluminum plate is more suitable. However, in architectural decoration and other areas where high-strength aluminum panels are not required, 1100 aluminum panels are obviously a better choice.
