5083 Aluminum Properties, Alloy 5083 H116 H111 H321
5083 Aluminum Alloy – Al 5083 H116 H111 H321
5083 aluminum is essentially a non-heat treatable alloy containing 4-4.9% Mg and 0.4-1.0% Mn. It is a relatively inexpensive alloy with moderate strength, excellent cold forming, welding and spot welding properties, and good corrosion resistance. Aluminum alloy 5083 can be processed to moderate superplasticity, this attractive combination of properties has led to the increasing use of its superplastic forming for a range of parts in non-structural applications that do not involve substantial forming strains. Commonly used temper conditions of the alloy include 5083-H116, H321, H111, H112, etc.
