Aluminum 5083 Plate

Product Description

Aluminium 5083 is known for exceptional performance in extreme environments. 5083 is highly resistant to attack by both seawater and industrial chemical environments.

Alloy 5083 also retains exceptional strength after welding. It has the highest strength of the non-heat treatable alloys but is not recommended for use in temperatures in excess of 65  degree C.

Applications:

• Alloy 5083 is typically used in:
• Shipbuilding
• Rail cars
• Vehicle bodies
• Tip truck bodies
• Mine skips and cages
• Pressure vessel

The most common tempers for 5083 aluminium are:

• H111 - Some work hardening imparted by shaping processes but less than required for H11 temper
• H32 - Work hardened by rolling then stabilized by low-temperature heat treatment to quarter hard
