5086 aluminum sheet belongs to 5000 series Al-Mg alloys which is the most common marine grade aluminium sheet. Similarly, the 5086 aluminum sheet is also a typical anti-rust alloy, and the content of its main alloy component Mg directly affects its anti-corrosion performance. According to the comparison of these typical 5000 series marine grade aluminium sheets chemical components,  the Mg content of these alloys is ranked as 5083, 5086, 5052 aluminum sheets from high to low. Therefore, they are used differently in various ship types such as yachts, fishing boats, sand carriers, and various ship components. Besides, the 5086 alloy sheet with good weldability and moderate strength is widely used in the manufacture of fuel tank, coal trucks, pressure vessels and transportation equipment, etc. It is also a high-quality raw material for oxidizing materials and checker plates.

Applications and Features:

1. Corrosion Resistance. 5086 aluminium sheet has the basic anti-corrosion ability to air, water (or sea water), petrochemical and other media. In addition, it has strong corrosion resistance in extremely strong industrial and marine atmospheric environments and deep water.

2. No Low Temperature Brittleness. Even below 0℃, the strength and plasticity of 5086 aluminium sheet will enhance while the termprature falls, and there is no low-temperature brittleness.

3. Surface Treatment. 5086 aluminium sheet has good surface anodizing treatment. In addition, after its surface being embossed, the pattern of the 5086 aluminum checker plate is clear, smooth and bright.

The Use of 5086 Aluminium Sheet

5086 Marine Grade Aluminium Sheet

At present, Union Aluminium 5086 aluminium sheet has obtained the certification of CCS, ABS, BV, LR, 5 international authoritative classification societies, the quality is guaranteed! Here, Union 5086 marine grade aluminium sheet has been widely used in the manufacturing of ships' sides, bottom and outboard, deck, etc., and is deeply favored by shipbuilding markets in South America, North America, southeast Asia, etc. 

Other Usages

In addition, the 5086 aluminium sheet or plate is generally used for applications requiring high corrosion resistance, good weldability, and moderate strength. For example, the weldable parts of ships and automobiles, pressure vessels with strictly fireproof requirement, refrigeration units, TV towers, loading and testing equipment, transportation equipment, etc.
