Aluminum Alloy 5052 Flexishield (0.5mm × 1500mm) for Ultra-Thin Corrosion-Resistant Automotive Fuel Tank Liners

Product Description:

The Aluminum Alloy 5052 Flexishield, with a thickness of 0.5mm and a width of 1500mm, is a non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy, likely in H32 temper, composed of aluminum (95.7-97.7%), magnesium (2.2-2.8%), chromium (0.15-0.35%), and trace elements. Designed for ultra-thin, corrosion-resistant automotive fuel tank liners, it offers excellent corrosion resistance, high fatigue strength (tensile strength ~230-280 MPa in H32 temper), and good formability. The Flexishield coating or treatment, possibly a specialized polymer or anodized layer, enhances resistance to ethanol-blended fuels and harsh environments. Its ultra-thin design (0.5mm) minimizes weight (density ~2.68 g/cm³), improving vehicle fuel efficiency, while its recyclability aligns with sustainable manufacturing goals. The 1500mm width supports high-volume production, meeting automotive industry needs.
