Aluminum Plate - Series 5086-H32

For many years there has been a need for aluminum sheet and plate alloys that would offer, for high strength welded applications, several distinct benefits over such alloys as 5052 and 6061. Some of the benefits fabricators have been seeking are greater design efficiency, better welding characteristics, good forming properties, excellent resistance to corrosion and the same economy as in other non heat-treatable alloys. Metallurgical research has developed 5083 and 5086 as superior wieldable alloys which fill these needs. Both alloys have virtually the same characteristics with 5083 having slightly higher mechanical properties due to the increased manganese content over 5086. Applications: unfired pressure vessels, missile containers, heavy-duty truck and trailer assemblies, boat hulls and superstructures.

¹ Average of tension and compression moduli. Compression modulus is about 2 percent greater than tension modulus. ² Ratings A through E are relative ratings in decreasing order of merit, based on exposures to sodium chloride solution by intermittent spraying or immersion. Alloys with A and B ratings can be used in industrial and seacoast atmospheres without protection. Alloys with C, D and E ratings generally should be protected at least on faying surfaces. ³ Stress-corrosion cracking ratings are based on service experience and on laboratory tests of specimens exposed to the 3.5% sodium chloride alternate immersion test. ⁴ Ratings A through D for Workability (cold), and A through E for Machinability, are relative ratings in decreasing order of merit. ⁵ Ratings A through D for Weldability and Brazeability are relative ratings. ⁶ A = Generally weldable by all commercial procedures and methods. B = Weldable with special techniques or for specific applications that justify preliminary trials or testing to develop welding procedure and weld performance. C = Limited weldability because of crack sensitivity or loss in resistance to corrosion and mechanical properties. ⁷ A = Generally weldable by all commercial procedures and methods. B = Weldable with special techniques or for specific applications that justify preliminary trials or testing to develop welding procedure and weld performance. C = Limited weldability because of crack sensitivity or loss in resistance to corrosion and mechanical properties. ⁸ A = Generally weldable by all commercial procedures and methods. B = Weldable with special techniques or for specific applications that justify preliminary trials or testing to develop welding procedure and weld performance. C = Limited weldability because of crack sensitivity or loss in resistance to corrosion and mechanical properties.
