5083 aluminium alloy
5083 aluminium alloy is an aluminium alloy with magnesium and traces of manganese and chromium. It is highly resistant to attack by seawater and industrial chemicals.[1]
Alloy 5083 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.[2]
Anodizing
For AA 5083 alloy, the stages of porous structure development are substantially identical with that of pure aluminum, although an increase in oxide growth rate and high conductance of the oxide film were observed.
Applications
Alloy 5083 is commonly used in:
- Shipbuilding
- Railroad cars
- Drilling rigs
- Coachwork
- Pressure vessels
- Aluminum armor
Uses requiring a weldable moderate-strength alloy having good corrosion resistance are commonly utilizing alloy 5083.
