Choudhary Metal Distributor is a leading supplier of Alloy 5086 aluminium plates are
available is a wide range from .250" - 2.00" in widths up to 120" and lengths up to 300" and
certified to ASTM B928. Alloy 5086 aluminum plates have even higher strength than 5052 or 5083
and its mechanical properties vary significantly with hardening and temperature. It is not
strengthened by heat treatment; instead, it becomes stronger due to strain hardening or cold
working of the material. This alloy can be readily welded, retaining most of its mechanical
strength. The good results with welding and good corrosion properties in seawater make Alloy
5086 extremely popular in marine applications. Alloy 5086 has been used in vehicle armor plate
due to its high strength factor.
Typical Applications:
. Shipyard
. Tank cars
. Welded and superstructures
. Patrol and work boat hulls
. Armor plate
