WHY 5052 ALUMINUM IS CHEAPER THAN 6061 ALUMINUM

Both 5052 aluminum and 6061 aluminum alloys can undergo the anodizing process to increase corrosion resistance and enable dying (coloring). The anodic layer is non-conductive.But 6061-T6 aluminum sheet is the most commonly used aluminum alloys. The main alloy ingredients are magnesium and silicon.
Common uses for this alloy are in the manufacturing of fishing reels, truck frames, structural components, machine parts, aircraft and aerospace components, marine fittings, camera lenses, transport, valves, and couplings.
6061-T3 is not recommended for sheet metal work because it will crack on the outside radius once it passes its yield when being processed on a brake press, for example.When compared with 6061 aluminum,Aluminum 5052 alloy is one of the higher strength, non-heat-treatable alloys, which contains magnesium as its major alloying element, with small amounts of chromium, silicon, iron, copper, manganese and zinc. When annealed, alloy 5052 is stronger than the readily available 1100 and 3003 alloys, and stronger than most other 5xxx series alloys.
5052 aluminum alloy cannot be heat treated, but can be hot and cold worked.5052-H32 contains 2.5% magnesium. It is one of the highest strength alloys of the non-heat treatable grades. Common uses for this alloy include the manufacturing of electrical enclosures, marine parts, home appliances, food equipment, fuel tanks, storm shutters, refrigerators, aircraft tube, and fences.So 5052 aluminum is cheaper than 6061 aluminum,the resource is from professional aluminum manufacturer-Henan Huawei aluminum,we have great quality aluminum foil, circle, sheet, mirror and embossed sheet, coil and so on, so if you have any interested, feel free to contact。

THE PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY OF 6082 ALUMINUM SHEET

he production technology of 6082 aluminum sheet.We offer 6082 aluminium alloy in bar, plate, tube and extrusions.  6082 belongs to the 6000 series (Al-Mg-Si)  aluminum alloy sheet . It is a kind of aluminum alloy sheet which can be strengthened by heat treatment. It has medium strength, good weldability and corrosion resistance. It is mainly used in transportation and structural engineering industry. Such as bridges, cranes, roof frames, transport planes, transport ships, etc.6082 aluminium alloy offers good machinability with excellent corrosion resistance. Available in bar, plate, sheet and tube, the alloy is used in structural applications and is preferred to 6061 aluminum.6082 aluminum sheet plate is used predominantly in highly stressed applications such as trusses, cranes and bridges.  The alloy offers excellent corrosion resistance and has replaced 6061 in many applications. The extruded finish is not as smooth and therefore not as aesthetically pleasing as ot...
