Aluminium 5086 Long Radius Bend Pipe Fittings

Aluminium 5086 Long Radius Bend Pipe Fittings are composed primarily of aluminium, with residual elements such as chromium, zinc, silicon, magnesium and manganese. This blend of metals gives the fittings superior strength and corrosion resistance, making them an excellent choice for applications in harsh environments or where exposure to water is unavoidable. High levels of chromium provide excellent pitting and crevice corrosion resistance, while the alloy also has excellent weldability. In addition, Aluminium 5086 features low electrical and thermal conductivity and good formability, making it an ideal choice for many plumbing jobs.

5086 Aluminium Long Radius Bend Pipe Fittings are a popular choice for process piping applications in the oil and gas, nuclear and defence industries. Due to its superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to its steel or brass counterparts, it is an excellent material for fabricated fittings that must meet corrosion challenges, high temperatures and extreme pressure ratings. Aluminium 5086 has more excellent toughness and improved fatigue properties under cyclic loading conditions due to its increased formability. That makes it suitable for more demanding applications involving highly corrosive media such as hydrocarbons, chemicals, steam and boiling water. In addition, Aluminium 5086 Long Radius Bend Pipe Fittings provide superior bend tightness, weld integrity, mechanical performance and enhanced resistance to stress cracking which are crucial in many industrial installations.
