Engineering Asked on October 3, 2021
I designed a simple U shape 2mm sheet metal bent mount for a 4kg outdoors CCTV camera. The mount was accidentally produced from 5052-H32 Aluminum instead of 6061-T6.
Is it common to use 5052 aluminium for such structural use-case? Or it is better to reproduce the mount? A static linear analysis shows that there is a factor of safety of 1.6 with g factor of 12.
A quick check on the net shows the 5052 has a lower strength than the 6061 , mostly caused by heat-treatment. Tensile is 25% lower, yield is 30 % lower ; nominal properties.
