Whoops,
I mentally transposed % of elongation in 2 inch samples to KPSI. The
following should have read 7% and 17% elongation
respectively. Fingers got ahead of the brain, again.............
5052-H38 aluminum is used for deep press container segments and it gets
more resistant during the work done on it.
We're talking pots and cookware here. In aircraft speak, other than a
fuel tank it's application would be limited. As it gets stressed, it
work hardens. Not a product I'd want to put into actual wing structure
as its elongation is less than half that of 2024-T3 and 6061-T6
aluminum for aircraft structures. Ultimate is approx 42K for all
three, but 5052-H38 has elongation of 7 %, where the 2024-T3 and
6061-T6 have 17 % elongation properties. This speaks to the durability
over long term for structural loading.
I used 5052-H32 for my header and wing tanks, and at .040, it's a little
softer, but excellent for a fuel tank, welding, forming etc.
