5052 aluminum in ship building and marine applications

Aluminum alloy 5052 is excellent resistance to corrosion makes it particularly well-suited to shipbuilding and marine applications, such as marine components, fuel tanks and oil lines. Due to its light weight, high strength and attractive finishing capabilities, it can be used to make smaller, thinner components, such as those used in consumer electronics.

In fact, alloy 5052 is the preferred choice for consumer electronics casings, as well as for larger products, such as laptop computers, mobile devices and televisions. Other common applications for aluminum alloy 5052 include aircraft fuel and oil lines, hydraulic tubes, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, appliances like home freezers, kitchen cabinets, fencing, lighting, wiring and rivets. It is regularly used in general sheet metal work.

Henan Huawei aluminum produces aluminum in 1000, 3000, 5000, 6000 and 7000series alloys, series.we have great quality aluminum foil, circle, sheet, mirror and embossed sheet, coil and so on,Pure aluminum is soft and malleable, and most commercial applications require greater strength than pure aluminum provides. Additional strength is achieved by adding other metal elements to produce alloys.

And, some alloys can be heat-treated or cold-worked by different methods to increase their strength and hardness even further.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 aluminum alloys, and stronger than most other 5xxx series alloys. 5052 alloy cannot be heat treated, but can be hot and cold worked.
