Phehlukwayo Metal, located in Cape Town, South Africa, is a reliable supplier of top-notch aluminium bars and rods designed for tough industrial uses. One of their standout products is Aluminium 5086, renowned for its remarkable resistance to corrosion, especially in marine and saltwater settings. Phehlukwayo Metal provides 5086 bars and rods to various sectors, including marine, defense, transportation, and structural engineering. With a strong focus on quality, consistency, and customer satisfaction, the company guarantees that all its products meet stringent standards and specifications, offering durable, corrosion-resistant aluminium solutions that excel in extreme conditions.
Aluminium 5086 is a non-heat-treatable alloy primarily composed of magnesium (3.5–4.5%) along with trace amounts of iron, silicon, and chromium. It boasts excellent corrosion resistance and moderate to high strength, particularly in the H116 or H32 tempers. Typically, this alloy achieves a tensile strength ranging from 275 to 350 MPa and a yield strength of about 145 to 280 MPa, depending on the temper. One of the great features of Aluminium 5086 is its good weldability, maintaining strength even after welding—unlike many other aluminium alloys. It performs exceptionally well in marine environments and is resistant to stress corrosion cracking, making it a perfect choice for structural applications that face moisture and saltwater.
