High Strength 5000 Series 5083 Aluminum Marine Plate Aluminium 5083 Sheet
5083 aluminum sheet belongs to Al-Mg series alloy. It is the highest strength corrosion-resistant
alloy among practical non-heat-treated alloys. And it is suitable for welding structures. Also, it is
worth mentioning that 5083 aluminum sheet has good resistance to seawater and low-temperature
characteristics.

Ocean Shipping
For oversize sheet, we use Flat Rack Container
1) We use suitable securing material, such as wooden blocks, steel straps, and ratchet tie-downs
to firmly fix the aluminum plates to the flat rack.
2) To prevent possible exposure to seawater or rain, we cover the entire cargo with waterproof tarps.
3) We make sure these sheets are loaded with a low and evenly distributed center of gravity to avoid
tilting during the transportation.
Key Properties of 5083 Aluminum Alloy
5083 aluminum alloy is a non-heat-treatable Al-Mg series alloy with exceptional marine-grade
characteristics:
♦ Superior Corrosion Resistance
High Mg content (4.0-4.9%) provides industry-leading seawater corrosion resistance
Resists stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in long-term marine exposure
♦ Outstanding Weldability
Compatible with MIG/TIG/FSW (friction stir welding)
As-welded joint strength retains >90% of base material
No post-weld heat treatment required
♦ Cryogenic Performance
Maintains toughness in Arctic conditions (-196°C) without brittle fracture
Thickness Guidelines for Marine Plate
Application | Thickness (mm) | Recommended Temper |
Commercial ship hull | 8-12 | H116/H321 |
Deck plating | 5-8 | H116/O |
LNG tank lining | 15-25 | H321 |
Non-load superstructure | 2-5 | O/H111 |
Material Selection & Processing Notes
Temper Selection:
H116/H321: Standard for optimized strength/corrosion resistance
O temper: For complex cold-formed shapes
Corrosion Protection:
Combine with sacrificial anodes or epoxy coatings
Comparison with Other Marine Alloys
5052: Lower strength (interior/cost-sensitive uses)
6061: Heat-treatable but inferior seawater resistance
