Kloeckner Metals sells 5182 aluminum sheet, a wrought alloy that has good corrosion resistance. Contact us today for a quote.
This aluminum sheet is widely used in the construction industry and has been recognized as a very promising alloy with good weldability, corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and cold processing properties. Its primary alloying element is magnesium.
Though this popular grade is not heat treatable, it has good corrosion resistance, high quality surface finishing, excellent weldability with various welding techniques, shows moderate strength and is easily formed. These qualities result in excellent performance in the automotive and construction industries.
Common industries for this aluminum sheet are the automotive, construction, and packaging industries.
Typical applications for it are beverage cans, packaging products like containers, brackets, and parts, and automotive parts including hoods, doors, and wing plates.
It has excellent weldability.
It is not heat treatable.

ANSWER:
This performance alloy is preferred for auto body paneling like hoods, wing plates and doors, due to excellent surface finishing that is not prone to crack or bubble. This is also the case when it comes to welding. This grade is particularly excellent for a variety of welding techniques without risk of cracking or bending due to softening at weld points. High quality welds result in better safety and vehicle performance. Additionally, high strength-to-weight ratio leads to an overall lighter material. This has immediate benefits for auto manufacturing, since a lighter vehicle that remains strong and durable is able to meet safety standards while also lowering fuel emissions.
ANSWER:
These two 5xxx series alloys share the same base composition. The main difference is that 5182 has a greater percentage of magnesium than 5052, whereas 5052 has more aluminum. More magnesium directly results in mechanical differences related to strength. For example, when you compare the ultimate tensile strength, depending on the temper 5052 has a range of 27 MPa to 41 MPa while 5182 exhibits a range of 41 MPa to 61 MPa.
