What is 5083 Aluminum Alloy?


5083 aluminium alloy is well known for its exceptional performance in the most extreme environments. The alloy displays high resistance to both seawater and industrial chemical environments.

With good overall mechanical properties, 5083 aluminium alloy benefits from good weldability and retains its strength after this process. The material combines excellent ductility with good formability and performs well in low-temperature service.

Highly corrosion resistant, 5083 is largely used around salt water for building ships and oil rigs. It maintains its strength in extreme cold, so it’s also used to make cryogenic pressure vessels and tanks.
