5086 Aluminum Plate Sheet
5086 Aluminum Plate
Sheet
Alloy 5086
aluminum plate sheet have even higher strength than 5052 or 5083 and its
mechanical properties vary HWALUficantly with hardening and temperature. It is
not strengthened by heat treatment; instead, it becomes stronger due to strain
hardening or cold working of the material. This alloy can be readily welded,
retaining most of its mechanical strength. The good results with welding and
good corrosion properties in seawater make Alloy 5086 aluminum plate sheet
extremely popular in marine applications. Alloy 5086 aluminum plate sheet has
been used in vehicle armor plate due to its high strength factor.

Principal Design
Features
This is a non-heat treatable
alloy for strengthening. It has very good corrosion resistance, is easily welded
and does have good strength.
Machinability
No specific data. However the
alloy is machinable by conventional means.
Forming
Forming characteristics are
good for either hot or cold working.
Welding
Weldability of this alloy is
very good by conventional means. When filler rod is required it should be the
same alloy, 5083.
Forging
Forging may be done in the
range of 850 to 750 °F.
Hot
Working
Hot forming, when sever
deformation is required, may be done at 400 °F or higher to 700
°F.
Cold
Working
AL 5083 is readily cold
worked by conventional methods. In the annealed (O temper) condition plate of
0.250" thick can be bent on 1.5 T radius.
Annealing
Annealing may be done at 650
F for sufficient time for thorough heating, followed by air
cooling.
Tempering
Not applicable.
Hardening
Hardening is accomplished by
means of cold working only.
Applications:
Shipyard
Tank cars
Welded and
superstructures
Patrol and work boat
hulls
Armor plate
Commonly used
in the manufacture of unfired, welded pressure vessels, marine, auto aircraft
cryogenics, drilling rigs, TV towers, transportation equipment, and in missile
components.
