Material Overview
- Application
- Boat hull panels, workboats, deckhouses, tanks and welded marine fabrications.
- Engineering Advantage
- Al-Mg alloy with useful corrosion resistance and formability for fabricated marine components.
- Specification
- Alloy 5086 · H116, H32 and other temper options by specification · Plate and sheet formats.
5086 is an aluminum-magnesium alloy used in marine fabrication where corrosion resistance and weldability are required. It is frequently considered for workboats, hull panels, deckhouses and formed structures.
Alloy selection between 5083 and 5086 should be based on required strength, plate dimensions, forming route, welded condition and governing design specification rather than alloy name alone.
