5083 Aluminum Bar and Rod

Grade: 5083

Size:

Cold drawn: 2mm-12mm

Extruded: 6mm-400mm

Standard: ASTM, AMS, BS etc.

5083 is an aluminum magnesium manganese alloy that combines comparatively high strength among non heat treatable grades with good seawater corrosion resistance. Extruded bars and rods are used for welded structures and machined marine or industrial parts. O, H111 and H112 conditions provide different balances of strength and fabrication capability. Welding and prolonged elevated temperature exposure require attention to corrosion behavior and sensitization. Marine plate tempers and plate specifications cannot automatically be transferred to solid bar products.
