1. Difference of raw materials:

From the perspective of alloying elements, the alloying element of 5052 is magnesium, and the alloying element of 6061 is magnesium and silicon.

2. The difference in state:

From the state point of view, 5052 has H112, H24, H32 three states, and 6061 only T6 and T651 two states.

3. Performance difference.

From the performance point of view, 5052 plate performance is better, with fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, good welding performance, good plasticity, polishing and other characteristics, but it also has certain shortcomings, such as: can not heat treatment strengthening, cold hardening plasticity is low, poor machinable performance and so on. The 6061 aluminum plate has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, weldability, and good oxidation effect, so we are best to buy according to demand when purchasing, so that we can buy satisfactory products.

4. Different scope of application.

From the scope of application, the 5052 aluminum plate is a rust-proof aluminum alloy, so it is generally used in an environment with high requirements for rust prevention. The 6061 aluminum plate is generally used in places with high strength requirements, so from this point of view, there are many differences between the two.

5. Different tensile strength.

From the point of view of tensile strength, the tensile strength of 5052 is less than or equal to 225 MPa, and the elongation is greater than or equal to 10%. The tensile strength of 6061 is greater than or equal to 180MPa, the yield strength is greater than or equal to 110MPa, and the elongation is greater than or equal to 14%.

6. The market price is different.

From the price point of view, the price of 6061 is more expensive than 5052 aluminum, but the performance and use of the two are different, so when we choose aluminum, it is best to determine according to our own needs.
