EN AW-5083 – CORROSION RESISTANT

EN AW-5083 belongs to the group of non-curable (naturally hard) alloys. Therefore, after homogenization, it can either be used directly or reshaped immediately.

Carrying out a heat treatment to increase strength is not possible. Its particular resistance to corrosion makes it ideal for mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, mold making and the chemical industry.

• Automotive and rail vehicle construction

• Pressure vessels

• Tilting devices (welded)

• Constructions in building and road traffic

• Pipelines

• Structural components

• Cryogenic technology

• Mechanical engineering tools

Moulds (cold dimensions)

Turned billets

We can produce all diameters between 140 - 1080 mm.

Mechanical properties

There is no standard for cast round rods (cast billets / bolts) that defines mechanical properties. A Brinell hardness in the homogenised state of approx. 70 HBW can be named as a guideline for cast material. The homogenised state (=„O3“ according to EN515) is comparable in strength with the annealed state (=„O“) for extruded products. The final strength is essentially adjusted by the reshaping process and/or the heat treatments by our customers.
