Phehlukwayo Metal takes pride in offering dependable, customized solutions with quick turnaround times, earning them a reputation as a go-to supplier for aluminium components that excel in challenging and corrosive environments.
Aluminium 5083 is a non-heat-treatable alloy, primarily made with magnesium (4.0–4.9%) and trace amounts of manganese (0.4–1.0%) and chromium. This unique composition gives it remarkable corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and industrial settings. It boasts a tensile strength of about 330 MPa and a yield strength close to 230 MPa in tempers like H116 or H321, along with impressive fatigue resistance and performance in low temperatures. Its strong resistance to seawater corrosion and good weldability make it a top choice for structural applications in harsh environments, although it’s not the best fit for high-temperature situations.
