Principal Design Features
|
|
This is a non-heat treatable alloy for strengthening. It has very good corrosion resistance, is easily welded and does have good strength.
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
Commonly used in the manufacture of unfired, welded pressure vessels, marine, auto aircraft cryogenics, drilling rigs, TV towers, transportation equipment, and in missile components.
|
|
|
Machinability
|
|
No specific data. However the alloy is machinable by conventional means.
|
|
|
Forming
|
|
Forming characteristics are good for either hot or cold working.
|
|
|
Welding
|
|
Weldability of this alloy is very good by conventional means. When filler rod is required it should be the same alloy, 5083.
|
|
|
Heat Treatment
|
|
This is a non-heat treatable alloy.
|
|
|
Forging
|
|
Forging may be done in the range of 850 to 750 F.
|
|
|
Hot Working
|
|
Hot forming, when sever deformation is required, may be done at 400 F or higher to 700 F.
|
|
|
Cold Working
|
|
AL 5083 is readily cold worked by conventional methods. In the annealed (O temper) condition plate of 0.250 " thick can be bent on 1.5 T radius.
|
|
|
Annealing
|
|
Annealing may be done at 650 F for sufficient time for thorough heating, followed by air cooling.
|
|
|
Aging
|
|
Not applicable to this alloy.
|
|
|
Tempering
|
|
Not applicable.
|
|
|
Hardening
|
|
Hardening is accomplished by means of cold working only.
|
|
|
Other Physical Props
|
|
