Aluminum 5083 Product Guide
Applications | Mechanical and Chemical Data | Tolerances
Overview
5083 aluminum is frequently found in marine applications, and is stronger than aluminum 5052 but weaker than 5086. 5083 has superior corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and good formability. 5083 is non-magnetic, easily weldable, and heat treatable. It is typically used in pressure vessels, cryogenics, towers and rigs, oil/gas piping, and armor.
