5086 superior marine grade aluminum alloy sheet

 5086-H116 is a superior marine environment, corrosion resistant aluminum alloy. The benefit this alloy brings over standard alloys such as 5052 or 6061 is the corrosion resistance and better welding capabilities. It is not strengthened by heat treatment; instead, it becomes stronger due to strain hardening or cold working of the material. Due to the alloy’s excellent corrosion resistance in seawater, 5086-H116 is extremely popular for marine applications.

Applications
5086-H116 is widely used in a variety of marine applications including, commercial and private boat repair, construction and modifications as well as welded superstructures and industrial applications in corrosive environments.

Aluminum plate is a raw material for parts as diverse as automotive side panels, storage tank walls, architectural panels and signs. The versatile properties of aluminum ensure high performance, durability and long life for its end products. These include: Low weight. Excellent corrosion resistance.
