Aluminium 5052 is the most widely used aluminum alloy in the 5000 series. 5052 aluminum belongs to the A1-Mg alloy, also known as rust-proof aluminum. 5052 aluminum alloy has high strength. When magnesium is added, 5052 aluminum plate has better corrosion resistance and enhanced strength. Aluminium alloy 5052 with excellent properties can be widely used to manufacture aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipes, sheet metal parts of transportation vehicles and ships, instruments, street lamp brackets and rivets, hardware products, electrical-appliance housings, lwm.
6061 aluminum is a heat-treatable alloy in the 6xxx series. Aluminium 6061 has good formability, weldability, and machinability. It also has medium strength and can maintain good strength after annealing. A small amount of copper or zinc can be added to 6061 aluminum alloy to improve the strength of the alloy without significantly reducing its corrosion resistance;
