Overview of 5086 Aluminum Plate
5086 aluminum plate is a high-strength structural alloy from the 5xxx series, featuring magnesium as its primary alloying element. It is very similar to the more common 5083 alloy but is often preferred in applications requiring slightly better formability with a minor trade-off in strength. Like its counterparts, 5086 is non-heat-treatable and is renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments, and its outstanding performance in welded structures. Specified under standards like ASTM B209 and EN 573 (as EN AW-5086), this alloy is a top choice for demanding marine, transportation, and pressure vessel applications.
Key Features and Properties of 5086 Aluminum
5086 aluminum plate is engineered to provide a robust and reliable material solution:
– **Excellent Corrosion Resistance:** Offers superb resistance to corrosion in both saltwater and industrial chemical atmospheres, making it highly durable for marine use.
– **High Strength:** While slightly less strong than 5083, it provides significantly higher strength than 5052, making it suitable for robust structural applications.
– **Outstanding Weldability:** It can be readily welded using all commercial methods, and crucially, it retains a high percentage of its strength in the as-welded condition, ensuring the integrity of fabricated structures.
– **Good Formability:** Offers good workability and can be formed into various shapes, providing a good balance between strength and formability.
– **High Fatigue Strength:** Excellent resistance to failure under cyclic loading, an essential property for ship hulls and vehicle bodies that experience constant vibration.
Main Applications of 5086 Aluminum Plate
The combination of strength, weldability, and corrosion resistance makes 5086 aluminum plate ideal for:
– **Shipbuilding & Marine:** Used for boat hulls, superstructures, decking, and other structural components in workboats, patrol boats, and yachts.
– **Transportation:** A preferred material for dump truck bodies, fuel tankers, and trailer components where light weight and high strength are required.
– **Pressure Vessels & Tanks:** Suitable for welded pressure vessels and large, field-erected storage tanks for fuel, water, and chemicals.
– **Defense Applications:** Used in the fabrication of armored vehicles and other military hardware.
– **Cryogenic Applications:** Like 5083, it performs well at low temperatures, making it suitable for certain cryogenic vessels.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is 5086 aluminum?
5086 is a high-strength, non-heat-treatable aluminum-magnesium alloy. It is highly regarded for its excellent resistance to corrosion in marine environments and its superb performance as a welded structural material.
What is the main difference between 5086 and 5083?
They are very similar 'sister' alloys. 5083 generally has a slightly higher magnesium content and offers slightly higher maximum strength. 5086, in turn, offers slightly better formability and is often used where the full strength of 5083 is not necessary but a significant step up from 5052 is required.
Is 5086 a good material for building boats?
Absolutely. It is one of the premier materials for marine construction. Its combination of high strength, excellent saltwater corrosion resistance, and high as-welded strength makes it perfect for fabricating durable and long-lasting boat hulls and superstructures.
Why is high post-weld strength important?
For large fabricated structures like ship hulls or pressure vessels, the strength of the welded joints is just as important as the strength of the plate itself. 5086 retains a very high percentage of its original strength after welding, ensuring that the entire structure is uniformly strong and reliable.
What does the H116 temper signify?
H116 is a special-purpose temper for 5xxx series alloys used in marine applications. It signifies that the material has been strain-hardened and has undergone specific thermal treatments and controls to achieve maximum resistance to exfoliation corrosion and stress corrosion cracking when exposed to seawater.
