5086 aluminum sheet is an aluminum-magnesium alloy sheet with distinct characteristics and a wide range of applications. Here is a detailed account:

Chemical Composition of 5086 aluminum sheet

• The main alloying element is magnesium, accounting for 3.50% - 4.50%. It also contains chromium (0.05% - 0.25%), copper (0.10% max), manganese (0.20% - 0.70%), silicon (0.40% max), zinc (0.25% max), and the remainder is aluminum.

Properties of 5086 aluminum plate

• Good Corrosion Resistance: The high magnesium content endows 5086 aluminum sheet with excellent corrosion resistance, especially in seawater and other harsh environments. It can resist the erosion of air, water, petrochemical media, and has strong corrosion resistance in industrial and marine atmospheric environments as well as deep water.
• Moderate Strength: Its tensile strength ranges from 275 to 350 MPa. After H116 strain hardening, the ultimate tensile strength can reach 290 MPa (42 ksi) at 20 °C.
• Good Weldability: Heat treatment has little effect on its strength, so 5086 aluminum sheet can be easily welded by arc welding, MIG, TIG, and other methods, and can retain most of its mechanical strength after welding.
• No Low-Temperature Brittleness: Even at temperatures below 0 °C, the strength and plasticity of 5086 aluminum sheet do not decrease with temperature but increase instead, without low-temperature brittleness.
• Good Formability: It can be easily cold-worked and formed into various shapes, meeting the needs of different processing technologies.

5086 aluminum plate is one of the representative products of the marine aluminum sheet. 5086 aluminum sheet prices are generally high, which is inseparable from its complex production process and stable product performance

5086 is an aluminum alloy, primarily alloyed with magnesium. It is not strengthened by heat treatment, instead becoming stronger due to strain hardening, or cold mechanical working of the material

Aluminum 5086 is structural alloy, which offers users strong corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity

5086 aluminums have excellent resistance against seawater and can be strengthened through strain hardening or cold working. It also has good weldability. It is not heat treatable.

5086 aluminium is not heat treated, 5086 plate is easy to form, stamp and weld. The main alloying elements of 5086 aluminium alloy are magnesium and silicon

Aluminum 5086 is often used in the automotive industry due to its high strength factor. It also has very good corrosion resistance and is easily welded, which are all very important factors for the automotive industry

5086 aluminum sheet is rust-proof aluminum and is widely used in applications where high corrosion resistance, good weldability and medium strength are required: weldable parts for ships, automobiles and aircraft plates; pressure vessels, refrigeration units, TV towers, detection equipment, transportation equipment, missile parts, armor, etc. that require strict fire protection.

5086 aluminium sheet belongs to 5000 series alloy and is one of the key products of 5000 series aluminium plate. 5086 aluminium plates have higher strength than 5052 and 5083 plates. 5086 aluminium plate is particularly resistant to salt water corrosion. Because 5086 aluminium is not heat treated, 5086 plate is easy to form, stamp and weld.

Aluminum Sheet or aluminum Plate is available in various alloys offering a range of weldability, corrosion resistance and machinability.

Applications of 5086 Aluminum plate

Other Fields: 5086 aluminum sheet can be used in the construction of TV towers, drilling rigs, and loading and testing equipment. It is also a high-quality raw material for oxidizing materials and checker plates.

Marine Field: It is widely used in the construction of small boats, yachts, work boats, and patrol boats, such as for manufacturing hulls, decks, and superstructures. It is also suitable for making marine components like vessel gangways and storage tanks due to its high corrosion resistance in seawater.

Military and Defense: In the military, 5086 aluminum sheet is used in vehicle armor, such as in the M113 armored personnel carrier and M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle. It may also be used in some missile components and other military equipment that requires moderate strength and corrosion resistance.

Cryogenic Engineering: Due to its excellent mechanical properties at low temperatures and no low-temperature brittleness, it is suitable for use in cryogenic storage tanks, pipelines, and other equipment in the cryogenic field.

Transportation Industry: It is used in the manufacture of some parts of trucks and railway vehicles, such as coal trucks and pressure vessels in transportation equipment, taking advantage of its moderate strength and good weldability.
