Gwangyang 5052 Alloy Mechanical Specs: Strength, Hardness & Properties
Gwangyang 5052 Alloy Mechanical Specifications: The Complete Technical Guide
When sourcing high-quality aluminum for demanding applications, precise mechanical specifications are non-negotiable. Gwangyang Aluminum, a leading Korean manufacturer and exporter, produces 5052 alloy renowned for its excellent balance of strength, formability, and corrosion resistance. This guide provides a detailed breakdown of the mechanical properties of Gwangyang 5052 alloy, helping engineers, purchasers, and fabricators make informed decisions.
Understanding these Gwangyang 5052 aluminum mechanical properties ensures your project meets all structural and performance requirements.
Key Mechanical Properties of Gwangyang 5052 Alloy (Typical for H32 Temper)
The H32 temper (strain-hardened and stabilized) is one of the most common supply forms for 5052. Below are the standard mechanical specifications you can expect from Gwangyang Aluminum’s 5052 alloy:
Tensile Strength (Ultimate): 33,000 psi (230 MPa) min
This is the maximum stress the alloy can withstand while being stretched before necking or fracture.
Yield Strength (0.2% Offset): 28,000 psi (193 MPa) min
A critical design parameter, this is the stress at which the material begins to deform plastically.
Elongation (in 2 inches / 50mm): 10% min
This percentage indicates the ductility and formability of the material. Gwangyang 5052 offers excellent elongation, allowing for significant forming without cracking.
Hardness (Brinell): Approximately 60 HB
This measure of surface resistance to indentation confirms the alloy's good wear resistance and durability.
Fatigue Strength: Excellent
Gwangyang 5052 alloy performs well under cyclic loading, making it suitable for vibrating or dynamic components.
Shear Strength: Approximately 22,000 psi (152 MPa)
These properties make Gwangyang 5052 superior to pure aluminum and many other non-heat-treatable alloys, offering a perfect blend of strength and hardness without compromising workability.
