CORROSION AND OXIDATION RESISTANCE
It is known for its excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation. This is due to the high levels of magnesium and other trace elements in the alloy, which create a protective oxide layer on the metal surface, preventing further corrosion and degradation.
HIGH FATIGUE RESISTANCE
This alloy is a typical choice for structural applications involving cyclic loads. Thanks to its fine-grained structure and high content of magnesium, it increases strength and durability under repeated stress.
GOOD WELDABILITY
Aluminium 5083 is easily weldable, with excellent strength and weld quality. This is due to the low levels of impurities and alloying elements, which results in it being less susceptible to cracks and other defects during welding. In addition, the thermal conductivity of the alloy allows for efficient heat dissipation during the welding process.
Aluminium 5083 is a popular aluminium alloy, known for its high strength and excellent corrosion resistance.
