Among the 8 commonly used aluminum plates, 1 series, 3 series and 5 series are widely used, which are widely used in the industry. 1 series aluminum plate is also known as pure aluminum plate, major grades: 1050, 1060,3 series aluminum plate is also known as aluminum-manganese alloy, major grades: 3003 and 3A21, 5 series aluminum plate is also known as aluminum-magnesium alloy, major grades: 5052, 5083, 5754, 5A05 and 5A06. As the two most widely used alloys, what are the specific differences between aluminum-manganese alloy and aluminum-magnesium alloy?

Pure aluminum plate: 1 series aluminum plate is mostly used in highway signage, stamping parts, low cost.

Aluminum manganese alloy: 3 series aluminum plate has good rust resistance, good formability, high corrosion resistance and high strength.

Aluminum magnesium alloy: 5 series aluminum plate has light quality, high strength, corrosion resistance, easy to color, low density, good heat dissipation and strong compression resistance. It can fully meet the requirements of 3C products for high integration, thinness, miniaturization, crash resistance, electromagnetic shielding and heat dissipation. It is several times harder than a conventional plastic case, but only one-third as heavy.

In practical applications, the 3-series aluminum plate is mostly used in the occasions that need anti-corrosion and anti-rust performance, such as the insulation of pipelines in power plants and chemical plants, and the ground anti-skid construction of cold storage; 5 series aluminum plates are more widely used in manufacturing industries, such as aircraft, automobiles, radiators, etc.
