Principal Design Features
Magnesium is the primary alloying agent in the 5052 series and is one of the most effective and widely used alloying elements for aluminum. Alloys in this series possess moderate to high strength characteristics, as well as good weldablilityand resistance to corrosion in the marine environment. Because of this, aluminum-magnesium alloys are widely used in building and construction, storage tanks, pressure vessels and marine applications. Examples of common alloy applications include: 5052 in electronics, 5083/5086 in marine applications, anodized 5005 sheet for architectural applications and 5182 makes the aluminum beverage can lid. The U.S. military’sBradleyFightingVehicleis made with5083and the 7xxx series aluminum.

5454 Aluminum Alloy is an alloy in the wrought aluminum -magnesium family (5000 or 5xxx series). It is closely related to 5154 Aluminum Alloy. As an aluminum -magnesium alloy, it combines moderate-to-high strength with excellent weldability. Like 5154, 5454 aluminum is commonly used in welded structures such as pressure vessels and ships. As a wrought alloy, it can be formed by rolling, extrusion, and forging (although forging is not common), but not casting. It be cold worked to produce tempers with a higher strength but a lower ductility. It is generally not clad.

5456 Aluminum Alloy is an alloy in the wrought aluminum-magnesium family (5000 or 5xxx series). While it is closely related to 5456 Aluminum Alloy (Aluminum Association) designations that only differ in the second digit are variations on the same alloy), it is used in structural applications, like most other aluminum-magnesium alloys, and not as filler for welding. As a wrought alloy, it can be formed by rolling, extrusion, and forging (although forging is not common), but not casting. It can be cold worked to produce tempers with a higher strength but a lower ductility. It is susceptible to exfoliation corrosion when held at temperatures above 65 °C (150 °F) for extended periods of time.

Standards
QQ-A250/6, ASTM-B928

Principal Design Features
5083 Aluminum Sheet & Plate has exceptional thermal conductivity and higher strength than 5052. It is highly resistant to attack by seawater and industrial chemicals and is very suitable for welding. 5083 retains exceptional strength after welding and is easily formed.

Applications
5083 is commonly used in marine applications because of its corrosion resistance. It is capable of withstanding extremely low temperatures without brittleness or loss of properties, it is especially suited to the cryogenic market. 5083 is also commonly used for LNG ship construction, storage tanks, high strength welded structures, armor plate, drill rigs and pressure vessels and rail cars. Some industries served include oil & gas, military, commercial and recreational marine, chemical plant and industrial containment vessels.

Machinability
Machinability for 5083 is considered poor for this alloy.

Forming
Excellent

Welding
5083 is readily weldable using arch and resistance techniques.

Heat Treatment
5083 is not heat treatable.

Carbon Steel is a steel with carbon content up to 2.1% by weight. The definition of carbon steel from the American Iron & Steel Institute (AISI) states:

Steel is considered to be carbon steel when:

No minimum content is specified or required for chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, titanium, tungsten, vanadium or zirconium, or any other element to be added to obtain a desired alloying effect;

The specified minimum for copper does not exceed 0.40 percent;

Or the maximum content specified for any of the following elements does not exceed the percentages noted: manganese 1.65, silicon 0.60, copper 0.60.

The term "carbon steel" may also be used in reference to steel which is not stainless steel; in this use carbon steel may include alloy steels.

As the carbon percentage content rises, steel has the ability to become harder and stronger through heat treating; however, it becomes less ductile. Regardless of the heat treatment, a higher carbon content reduces weldability. In carbon steels, the higher carbon content lowers the melting point.

6463-T66 and T67 Alloy Aluminum Pipe is a variation of 6063 Alloy Aluminum and available as Bright Dipped Polished as well as Bright Dipped Brushed finish. Commonly used in marine fabrication for structures such as Poling Platforms, Tuna & Marlin Towers, T-Tops, Bow Rails, and Leaning Posts, just to name a few.
