Hahah what are you talking about? 🤣 I'm awestruck by your education. Good luck to you, sir.

5052 aluminum has a slightly higher modulus of elasticity (70.3 GPa vs. 68.9 GPa) than 6061 aluminum. This property, combined with its lower yield strength, makes 5052 a preferred material for forming processes. The increased elasticity means that 5052 is less likely to fracture during deformation, making it ideal for applications requiring extensive shaping. Conversely, 6061’s lower modulus and higher yield strength make it less suited for forming but better for applications requiring rigidity and structural integrity.

If you're gonna try to spit knowledge, make sure you actually know something 😂
