Aluminium

5083

Specifications

  • 5083

Applications

  • Known for exceptional performance in extreme environments
  • Used in shipbuilding due to its high resistance to attack by seawater and chemical environments
  • Alloy 5083 also retains exceptional strength after welding, having the highest strength of the non-heat treatable alloys but is not recommended for use in temperatures in excess of 65degC
  • Used in rail cars
  • Vehicle bodies
  • Tip truck bodies
  • Mine skips and cages
  • Pressure vessels
  • Greyish-white in colour, it is malleable, ductile and conductive to heat and electricity
  • A thin inert film of oxide protects the metal surface from further attack, thus giving the metal a form of resistance to corrosion.
  • This film of oxide can be further thickened by a process known as the anodizing
  • Welding can be made possible.
  • Anodized or spray coating possible to achieve different architectural effects
  • With its non-corrosive and good mechanical properties, each grade of Aluminium has a high range of applications.
  • Aluminium also possesses very high malleability, enabling it to be produced into a very thin foil.
