5052 aluminum alloy is a medium-hardness alloy that can be brushed or anodized for better results and is used in notebook casings or other electronic products.

Aluminum Plate vs. Aluminum Sheet

Aluminum sheet and aluminum plate are essentially the same; the only true distinction is in their respective thickness. Aluminum sheet is any aluminum sheet metal thicker than foil but thinner than 6mm; it comes in many forms including diamond plate, expanded, perforated, and painted aluminum sheet. Aluminum plate is any aluminum sheet metal that is thicker than 6mm.

How strong is 5052 aluminum sheet plate?

Overall metal strength is measured by yield strength and tensile strength. Yield strength refers to the strength of a metal shape; the point at which it is permanently deformed is measured. Tensile strength (also known as ultimate strength) measures how well a metal can be stretched before breaking.

The strength of 5052 aluminum is also determined by tempering, subdivided as follows:

	Strength, KSI	Tension	Elong. In 2″		Brinell Hardness (500kg load; 10mm ball.)	Ultimate Shear Strenght, KSI	Endurance* Limit, KSI	Mod. of Elast. KSIx10*

Casting production process and its introduction

The purpose of melting and casting is to produce alloys with satisfactory composition and high purity of melt, so as to create favorable conditions for casting alloys of various shapes.

Melting and casting process steps: batching --- feeding --- melting --- stirring after melting, slag removal --- pre-analysis sampling --- adding alloy to adjust the composition, stirring --- refining --- static Setting——Guide furnace casting.

Hot rolling production process and its introduction

1. Hot rolling generally refers to rolling above the metal recrystallization temperature;
2. During the hot rolling process, the metal has both hardening and softening processes. Due to the influence of deformation speed, as long as the recovery and recrystallization process is too late, there will be a certain work hardening;
3. The recrystallization of the metal after hot rolling is incomplete, that is, the coexistence of recrystallized structure and deformed structure;
4. Hot rolling can improve the processing performance of metals and alloys, reduce or eliminate casting defects.

Casting and rolling process

Casting and rolling process: liquid metal, front box (liquid level control), casting and rolling machine (lubrication system, cooling water), shearing machine, coiling machine.

1. The casting and rolling temperature is generally between 680°C and 700°C. The lower the better, the stable casting and rolling line usually stops once a month or more to re-stand. During the production process, it is necessary to strictly control the liquid level of the front tank to prevent low liquid level;
2. Lubrication uses C powder with incomplete combustion of gas for lubrication, which is also one of the reasons for the dirty surface of casting and rolling materials;
3. The production speed is generally between 1.5m/min-2.5m/min;
4. The surface quality of products produced by casting and rolling is generally relatively low, and generally cannot meet products with special physical and chemical performance requirements.

Cold rolling production process

1. Cold rolling refers to the rolling production method below the recrystallization temperature;
2. There will be no dynamic recrystallization during the rolling process, and the temperature will rise to the recovery temperature at most, and the cold rolling will appear in a work hardening state, and the work hardening rate will be large;
3. The cold-rolled sheet and strip have high dimensional accuracy, good surface quality, uniform structure and performance, and products in various states can be obtained with heat treatment;
4. Cold rolling can roll out thin strips, but at the same time, it has the disadvantages of high energy consumption for deformation and many processing passes.

Introduction to finishing production process

1. Finishing is a processing method to make the cold-rolled sheet meet the customer's requirements, or to facilitate the subsequent processing of the product;
2. The finishing equipment can correct the defects produced in the hot rolling and cold rolling production process, such as cracked edge, oily, poor plate shape, residual stress, etc. It needs to ensure that no other defects are brought into the production process;
3. There are various finishing equipments, mainly including cross-cutting, slitting, stretching and straightening, annealing furnace, slitter, etc.
