Characteristics

5086 is a medium to high strength non-heat-treatable alloy. The alloy has good weldability and is more formable than alloy 5083. As this alloy is resistant to stress corrosion cracking and exfoliation, it has wide application in the marine industry. Corrosion resistance is excellent.


Typical Applications

5086 is commonly used in the construction of ship hulls (due to stress corrosion cracking resistance), pressure vessels, applications requiring greater formability than 5083, restricted to operating temperatures less than 150oF.
