5083H321/116

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°C.

Alloy 5083 is typically used in:

Shipbuilding
Rail cars
Vehicle bodies
Tip truck bodies
Mine skips and cages
Pressure vessels

Mechanical Properties shown are for 0/H111 temper

TEMPER TYPES

The most common tempers for 5083 aluminium are:

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