What is the difference between 3003 aluminum and 5052 aluminum?

[China Aluminum Network] 3003 aluminum and 5052 aluminum are more common aluminum alloy on the market, and they are two representative brands of two-tier aluminum. Although it is widely used, many people do not know the difference between the two. Below, take 3003H24 aluminum plate and 5052H24 aluminum plate as an example, for everyone to popularize this knowledge.

1. From the chemical composition, 3003 aluminum plate is aluminum manganese alloy, the main alloying element is manganese. 5052 aluminum plate is an aluminum-magnesium alloy, the main alloying element is magnesium. 3003 aluminum aluminum content is slightly higher than the 5052 aluminum plate.

2. From mechanical properties, the tensile strength of 3003H24 aluminum sheet is between 145-195Rm/MPa, while that of 5052H24 aluminum sheet is as high as 230-280Rm/MPa, much higher than that of 3003H24 aluminum sheet; the elongation strength of 3003H24 aluminum sheet is 115Rm/MPa, The extension strength of the 5052H24 aluminum plate is 150Rm/MPa. Therefore, the performance of the 5052 aluminum plate is significantly better than that of the 3003 aluminum plate.

3. From the commonly used specifications, the 3003 aluminum sheet is mainly made of sheet metal, and the application of the thick sheet is not much. In addition to the 5052 aluminum sheet, the application of the thick sheet is very extensive.

4. From the scope of application, 3003 aluminum plate is mainly used in wet environments, such as product packaging, refrigerators, air conditioners, cold storage, ventilation ducts, and so on. The 5052 aluminum plate is commonly used in electrical enclosures, transportation vehicles, pressure vessels, etc. It is a commonly used material for manufacturing automobiles, aircraft fuel tanks, and oil pipes.

5. From the price of aluminum plate, the price of 3003 aluminum plate is slightly higher than that of pure aluminum plate, while the price of 5052 aluminum plate is obviously higher than that of 3003 aluminum plate. According to different specifications and thicknesses, the price of one ton of 5052 aluminum is about 2000-3000 yuan higher than the price of one ton of 3003 aluminum.

Although 3003 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate are often used as rust-proof aluminum, the difference between the two types of aluminum plate is still very obvious. Enterprises must choose the right product according to production needs.

Snowmelt agent is mainly divided into two categories, one kind is potassium acetate as the main composition of organic snowmelt agent, although this kind of snow melt agent snowmelt effect is good, no corrosion damage, but its price is too high, generally only applies to the airport and other places. The other group is chlorinated salt, including Sodium Chloride, Calcium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride, potassium chloride, etc., which is known as' ice salt '. Its advantages are cheap, and the price is only about a tenth of that of organic snowmelt, but its corrosion of large public infrastructure is serious.
There are two chlorine salt snow removal effect of snowmelt agent, in addition to dissolved salts in the absorption of heat, is another role of brine freezing point is lower, so again to dissolve the salt in the water after it will be difficult to ice formation, thus is advantageous to the row of snow.
When the snow melts in water, the concentration of ions in the water rises, causing the vapor pressure of the water vapor to drop, but the solid vapor pressure of the ice remains unchanged. The ice melts in order to achieve the state of water mixing and solid vapor pressure. This principle also explains why salt water is not easy to freeze.
