Aluminum Alloy 5052 Flexishield (0.5mm × 1500mm) for Corrosion-Resistant Automotive Fuel Tank Liner Boards

Product Description:

The Aluminum Alloy 5052 Flexishield, with a thickness of 0.5mm and a width of 1500mm, is a non-heat-treatable aluminum-magnesium alloy (aluminum 95.7-97.7%, magnesium 2.2-2.8%, chromium 0.15-0.35%) in H32 or O-temper, designed for corrosion-resistant automotive fuel tank liner boards. The Flexishield coating, likely a specialized corrosion-resistant or protective layer (e.g., polymer-based or anodized), enhances durability against fuel, moisture, and environmental exposure. The alloy offers medium strength (tensile strength ~195-290 MPa), excellent corrosion resistance, and high formability (elongation ~7-27%), making it ideal for shaping complex fuel tank liners. Its ultra-thin design and lightweight nature (density ~2.68 g/cm³) reduce vehicle weight, improving fuel efficiency. The alloy’s weldability (e.g., MIG, TIG) and recyclability ensure cost-effective, sustainable manufacturing. The 1500mm width supports high-volume production for automotive fuel systems.
