5083 Aluminum Alloy

Aluminum 5083 is a non-heat treatable alloy known for its resistance to extreme environments, including seawater corrosion and industrial chemicals. While featuring limited machinability due to its exceptional strength, AL 5083 is the material of choice for marine and aquatic applications, and is typically used in shipbuilding. Other uses for this alloy include transportation applications such as rail, truck, and vehicle bodies, as well as pressure vessels and food processors. Aluminum 5083 is composed mainly of aluminum, magnesium and manganese and standard specifications include AMS 4057, AMS 4058, ASTM B210 and more.
