Aluminium 5083 forging is an alloy of aluminium, magnesium, and manganese. This combination creates a high strength-to-weight ratio and strong formability, making it ideal for moulding into complex shapes. With its superior corrosion resistance towards salt water, this alloy can be used in applications exposed to the harsh marine environment. Other uses include aircraft components, boat fittings, transport vehicles, and architectural components, among other things.
Aluminium 5083 forging is a highly versatile and durable metal with many useful properties. Its exceptional strength and low weight make it ideal for welding, extrusion applications, cold working, and more. It has good corrosion resistance when anodized or polymeric coated and can be anodized in various colours, including bronze, silver, black or even gold. Its low thermal conductivity also makes it useful for insulation, and its excellent electrical conductivity makes it popular in the electrical industry.
