In Singapore's humid maritime climate, 5083 H116 aluminum plates have become the preferred material for shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and chemical processing equipment, thanks to their exceptional resistance to saltwater corrosion, high strength, and excellent weldability. GNEE Aluminum, a leading Chinese aluminum supplier, now provides ASTM B209-compliant 5083 H116 plates tailored to the needs of Southeast Asia, ensuring stable quality, reliable performance, and fast delivery for Singaporean customers.
5083 aluminum plate belongs to the 5xxx series of aluminum-magnesium alloys and is a representative rust-proof aluminum material known for its excellent corrosion resistance, superior weldability, and good cold forming performance. The available tempers include O, H12, H14, H16, H18, H19, H22, H24, H26, H28, H32, H34, H36, H38, H111, H112, H114, H116, and H321. Among these, the most commonly used are H112, H116, and H321, which are widely applied in manufacturing tank truck bodies, automobile fuel tanks, bus exteriors, and marine ship plates.
5083 aluminum plate is one of GNEE Aluminum's key products. It has been extensively used in yachts, cruise ships, and other marine structures, earning an excellent reputation for performance and reliability.
The H temper represents strain-hardened aluminum plates processed to improve strength and hardness. Within the H category, different sub-tempers denote varying degrees of work hardening, resulting in different mechanical properties. The H116 temper is specifically designed for 5xxx series alloys with a magnesium content of ≥4.0%, ensuring the plate meets the required mechanical properties and offers enhanced resistance to exfoliation corrosion.
The 5083 H116 aluminum plate has a tensile strength (σb) ≥305 MPa, yield strength (σ0.2) ≥215 MPa, elongation δ10 ≥20%, and elongation δ5 ≥12%.
GNEE Aluminum, a professional Chinese supplier, can produce 5083 aluminum plates in nearly all tempers, with thicknesses ranging from 0.15mm to 500mm, widths from 20mm to 2650mm, and lengths from 500mm to 16000mm, providing flexible customization to meet diverse customer requirements across industries.
