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
| Temper | Characteristics | Application |
| O | Soft, highest formability | Tank body (deep drawing) |
| H32 | 1/4 hard, balanced strength/formability | Tank shells/brackets |
| H34 | 1/2 hard, higher strength | Reinforcements/mounts |
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).
Our Sample of 5052 H32 Fuel Tank
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.
