5083 Aluminium Plates

5083 Aluminium Plates are widely used in marine applications, especially shipbuilding, boat hulls and offshore platforms due to their excellent resistance to seawater. They are also used in pressure vessels, fuel storage tanks, vehicle bodies and structural components in transportation. Their combination of high strength and corrosion resistance makes them ideal for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals or extreme temperatures. They are also used in cryogenic systems and defense related structures where strength and reliability are critical.

5083 Aluminium Plate is a strong and reliable aluminium alloy well known for its resistance to corrosion and harsh environments. It is primarily made with magnesium and includes traces of chromium and manganese, which help improve its mechanical properties. This plate is commonly used in marine structures, shipbuilding, tankers, pressure vessels and heavy transport equipment. It performs exceptionally well in contact with seawater, chemicals and low temperatures. Although it is not heat-treatable, its strength is improved through cold working. 5083 Aluminium Plates are also easy to weld and form, making them suitable for demanding structural projects that require long-term performance and durability.

5083 Aluminium Plate is primarily composed of aluminium with magnesium as its main alloying element, typically ranging from 4.0% to 4.9%. It also contains 0.4% to 1.0% manganese and 0.05% to 0.25% chromium, which help improve its strength and corrosion resistance. Minor elements include silicon (up to 0.4%), iron (up to 0.4%), copper (0.1% max) and trace amounts of zinc and titanium. This balanced composition provides excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine and industrial environments, and contributes to its high strength and weldability.
