Aluminum Alloy 5052-H34 (1.6mm × 1600mm) for Pressure Vessel Manufacturing

Product Description:

The Aluminum Alloy 5052-H34, with a thickness of 1.6mm and a width of 1600mm, is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy composed of aluminum (95.7-97.7%), magnesium (2.2-2.8%), chromium (0.15-0.35%), and trace amounts of other elements. Designed for pressure vessel manufacturing, this alloy in H34 temper offers excellent corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength (tensile strength ~230-280 MPa), and good formability. The H34 temper, achieved through strain-hardening and stabilization, enhances its strength and rigidity, making it ideal for pressure vessels in chemical processing, food and beverage, and marine applications. Its lightweight nature (density ~2.68 g/cm³) reduces vessel weight, improving efficiency, while its recyclability aligns with global sustainability goals. The 1600mm width supports efficient, large-scale production, catering to industrial needs.
