5086 Aluminum Sheet

5083 and 5086 aluminum plates are commonly used in shipbuilding for hulls, decks, and operating tables due to their ability to withstand harsh marine environments. Constant contact with seawater demands materials with high corrosion resistance, strength, weldability, and formability.

5086 aluminum plate, primarily alloyed with magnesium, is a top choice for its excellent corrosion resistance, good weldability, and moderate strength—earning it the nickname “rust-proof aluminum.”

Key Differences Between 5083 and 5086 Aluminum Plates

The main differences between 5083 and 5086 aluminum plates lie in their chemical compositions and mechanical properties.

Chemical Composition:

• 5083 Aluminum Plate:

• Si ≤ 0.4%, Cu ≤ 0.1%, Mg 4.0–4.9%, Zn ≤ 0.25%, Mn 0.40–1.0%, Ti ≤ 0.15%, Cr 0.05–0.25%, Fe ≤ 0.4%

• 5086 Aluminum Plate:

• Mg 3.5–4.5%, Zn ≤ 0.25%, Mn 0.20–0.7%, Ti ≤ 0.15%, Cr 0.05–0.25%, Fe ≤ 0.5%

5086 Aluminum Sheet Advantage

5086 aluminum sheet offers several key benefits for marine and industrial use:

• Lightweight and Excellent Weldability: Its low density helps reduce the overall weight of structures, resulting in lower fuel consumption and maintenance costs.

• High Impact Absorption: With a low elastic modulus, it can withstand significant impact stress.

• Superior Low-Temperature Performance: It remains ductile and strong without brittleness in cold environments, making it ideal for low-temperature applications.

• High Recycling Value: Aluminum scrap from 5086 sheets retains excellent recycling potential, contributing to environmental sustainability.

• Non-Magnetic Properties: It does not interfere with navigation equipment like compasses and is suitable for mine-resistant and degaussing applications.

• Fire and Warp Resistance: It resists deformation in dry conditions and does not burn, enhancing safety in extreme environments.
