In recent years, aluminum alloys have gradually replaced traditional materials in many fields. 5454 aluminum is an aluminum-magnesium alloy with good anti-rust effect. Can adapt to harsh environments. In addition, it has good plasticity and good formability, and is mostly used in welded structures, pressure vessels, pipelines of ships and marine facilities, oil tanker cylinders, etc.
5454, 5052, 5182 aluminum plates are all typical 5xxx aluminum alloys. The main alloying element is magnesium, with a content of 3-5%. Low density, light weight, high tensile strength, good anti-rust effect and high elongation.
5454 vs 5052
The magnesium content of 5454 aluminum plate is 2.4-3.0%, and it also contains a small amount of silicon, copper, zinc, manganese and other elements. The tensile strength is greater than 215MPa, which is about 20% higher than that of the 5052 aluminum plate. Its corrosion resistance in harsh environments is better than 5154 aluminum plate.
The magnesium content of 5052 aluminum plate is between 2.2-2.8%, and the tensile strength is 170-305MPa. Compared with 5454 aluminum sheet, it is more versatile, especially in the construction industry. In addition, there is a certain price difference between the two.
5454 vs 5182
The essential difference between 5454 and 5182 aluminum alloys lies in the composition and content of alloying elements. 5182 contains more magnesium and manganese than 5454, and there are also certain differences in performance and use. 5182 aluminum plate is not only used for tank trucks, but also used for parts such as tank covers, body panels, control panels, reinforcements, brackets, etc.
