5052 Alloy 4 x 8 Automotive Fuel Tank Aluminum Alloy Sheet

5052 Alloy 4 x 8 Automotive Fuel Tank Aluminum Alloy Sheet Supplier

5052 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum-magnesium alloy (5xxx series) known for its excellent

corrosion resistance, good formability, and weldability. It's widely used in marine, automotive,

construction, and electronic applications.

Key Properties

Corrosion Resistance:

Excellent resistance to gasoline/diesel and salt spray due to Mg content.

Formability:

High elongation (≥25% in O-temper), suitable for deep drawing and hydroforming.

Weldability:

Easily welded by TIG/MIG without post-weld heat treatment.

Strength:

H32 temper: Tensile strength ≥230 MPa, ideal for structural support.

Recommended Tempers

Key Takeaways

vs 3003: 5052 offers superior fuel corrosion resistance and strength.

vs 6061: 5052 welds/form more easily; 6061 requires heat treatment.

vs 5754: Similar performance, but 5052 is more cost-effective.

Industry Applications

Japanese OEMs: Toyota, Honda (e.g., RAV4 hybrid fuel tanks).

Commercial Vehicles: Ford Transit custom fuel tanks.

EVs: Liner for hydrogen storage tanks (with coatings).

Manufacturing Process: Casting, Hot rolling, Cold rolling, Stamping,Rolling, Welding

Dimension: 350L   930×680×650mm

Features and Applications: Aluminum fuel tank is light inweight,good at corrosion resistance,

not easy to produceimpurities.It is not easy to be broken to spill fuel when collidingfuel tank

has basically replaced the iron fuel tank as well as theplastic fuel tank and it has become the

most ideal fuel storagedevice.

• Is 5052 aluminum bendable?

Yes ! The fact that 5052 aluminum is primarily alloyed with magnesium makes it a good aluminum for

bending. Each 5052 temper has a unique level of malleability, and all offer moderate-to-high strength

while still retaining good bendability in general.
