Aluminum Alloy 5052 Aluminum Plate for Car Fuel Tanks (2.0 mm | Custom Width | Corrosion-Resistant Anodized Treatment)
Introduction
The 5052 corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum plate (2.0 mm thickness, 1000–2200 mm custom width, 15 μm automotive hard-anodizing + sealing) is the global OEM choice for ultra-safe, lightweight fuel tanks.
-
Alloy 5052-H32: 2.5 % Mg → 30 % stronger than 5182, perfect deep-draw & weldability.
-
Hard anodizing + dichromate seal: 2000 h ASTM B117 salt-spray, zero pitting with E85/E100.
-
Custom wide coil + EDF surface: ready for tank half-shell stamping.
Result: tanks that survive 30 years of ethanol-blend fuels, cut 18 kg per vehicle, and meet ECE R34 & FMVSS 301 crash standards.
