Overview

5086 aluminum is frequently found in marine applications, with higher strength capacity than aluminum 5052 or 5083. 5086 has superior corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and good formability. 5086 is non-magnetic, easily weldable and formable. It is typically used in pressure vessels, cryogenics, towers and rigs, oil/gas piping, and armor.
