Product Details
5083 H321 aluminum plate is a non-heat-treatable aluminum-magnesium alloy with a controlled strain-hardened and stabilized condition. It is widely used in marine, transportation, and structural applications due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, and good weldability.
The “H321” temper indicates that the material has been strain-hardened and then stabilized to achieve a balance between strength and stress corrosion resistance.
Chemical Composition (Typical)
5083 aluminum belongs to the Al-Mg alloy series, with magnesium as the main strengthening element.
| Element | Content (%) | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium (Mg) | 4.0 – 4.9 | Primary strengthening element |
| Manganese (Mn) | 0.4 – 1.0 | Improves strength and corrosion resistance |
| Chromium (Cr) | 0.05 – 0.25 | Enhances stress corrosion resistance |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.40 | Impurity control |
| Silicon (Si) | ≤ 0.40 | Improves processing stability |
| Aluminum (Al) | Balance | Base metal |
