  • 5052-h32 vs 6061-t6


    Similarities of aluminum 5052-h32 vs 6061-t6:
    1, Metal type: both 5052 h32 and 6061 t6 are aluminium alloy materials, with some basic advantages of aluminium alloy, such as lightweight, corrosion resistance, etc.
    2, Wide range of applications: 5052 H32 and 6061 T6 aluminum both have a wide range of applications in multiple fields, including construction, automotive, marine, mechanical parts, etc.

    Differences of aluminum 5052-h32 vs 6061-t6:
    1. Alloying elements and state:
    5052 H32: the main alloying element is magnesium, with H112, H24, H32 and other states. The H32 state indicates that the 5052 aluminium plate in the cold hardening after the ultra-low temperature quenching to reach a stable state.
    6061 T6: the main alloying elements are magnesium and silicon, only T6 and T651 two states. t6 state refers to the state of artificial aging after solid solution heat treatment.

    2. Performance characteristics:
    5052 H32: It has the characteristics of anti-fatigue, corrosion resistance, good welding performance, good plasticity and polishability. Its tensile strength is less than or equal to 225 MPa, elongation is greater than or equal to 10%.
    6061 T6: high strength, high hardness (up to HB90 degrees or more), with good corrosion resistance, weldability, oxidation effect is better. Its tensile and compressive strength is 200N/mm² and shear strength is 115N/mm².

    3. Scope of application:
    5052 H32: Because of its excellent corrosion resistance and welding performance, it is mainly used in environments with high requirements for rust prevention, such as the manufacture of aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipelines, as well as traffic travel vehicles, ships and other sheet metal.
    6061 T6: Because of its high strength and hardness, 6061 aluminum is mainly used in places with high strength requirements, such as the manufacture of trucks, tower buildings, ships, trams, etc..

    4. Market price:
    Generally speaking, the price of 6061 T6 is a little more expensive than 5052 H32, which is mainly due to its more alloy elements and stronger performance.

    To sum up, aluminum 5052 H32 and 6061 T6 have obvious differences in terms of alloying elements, status, performance characteristics, scope of application and market price. When choosing, the decision should be made according to the specific use environment and needs.
