1/4 Inch Thickness 5052 Aluminum Alloy Sheet Tank Truck Automobile Application

5052 aluminum is a versatile premium-grade material suitable for a wide range of applications. Although the

metal is not heat treatable, magnesium and chromium, these elements increase the aluminum’s strength,

durability, and corrosion resistance.

Our factory own the world advanced equipments, include:

We made these samples

For oversize sheet, we use Flat Rack Container for shipping

1) We use suitable securing material, such as wooden blocks, steel straps, and ratchet

tie-downs to firmly fix the aluminum plates to the flat rack.

2) To prevent possible exposure to seawater or rain, we cover the entire cargo with

waterproof tarps.

3) We make sure these sheets are loaded with a low and evenly distributed center of

gravity to avoid tilting during the transportation.

Key properties and benefits

♦ 5052 aluminum’s most notable properties are its weldability, formability, strength, durability, and electrical

and thermal conductivity.

♦ 5052 aluminum’s excellent weldability ensures strong bonds with excellent structural integrity. This also

helps simplify the assembly process in construction and manufacturing. 5052 aluminum’s high formability

allows the metal to be shaped into precise, complex shapes for a wide range of applications.

Aluminum Material Advantages than other material

Aluminum tanker trailers has much better fuel economy compared to tankers made from other material

thanks to its lightweight. Research done by European Aluminum Association shows that 0.6L of gasoline

can be saved for every ton and 10km. If traveling 12,000km a year, an aluminum tanker can reduce the

dead weight of 5t compared with a steel tank, and it will save at least 1800L of fuel annually.

Applications for 5052 aluminum

Because it’s stronger than other popular alloys and has greater corrosion resistance, 5052 aluminum is

ideal for marine industries, chemical applications, and electronics. Its uses include:

* Fuel tanks

* Truck-trailer side panels and cabs

* Road signs

* Kitchen cabinets

* Small boats

Shapes and forms

At Cumberland Diversified Metals, we trade in 5052 aluminum sheet, plate, and coil.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What are the characteristics of 5052 aluminum vs. 6061 aluminum?

5052 and 6061 are likely the two most widely used aluminum grades. Both are lightweight, offering

strong corrosion resistance and high tensile strength, but which is “best” depends on the requirements

of the application. 5052 is easier to bend and form without cracking, 6061 can be extruded into various

shapes and strengthens with heat treatment.
