What is 5083 alloy aluminum?
5083 aluminum is one of the 5000 series alloy aluminum，always called AlMg alloy,This alloy grade contains 5.0% magnesium, 0.4-1.0% manganese and small amount of other elements；
5083 alloy aluminum has the light weight, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity of aluminum itself. Due to the presence of Mg and Mn elements, the hardness and corrosion resistance of 5083 aluminum have been significantly improved, especially for seawater corrosion, which can effectively resist. Therefore, 5083 aluminum Often used in marine applications.
5083 alloy aluminum chemical composition
| Alloy | Mg | Mn | Si | Fe | Cu | Cr | Zn | Ti | Others | Al: Min. |
| 5083 | 4.0~4.9 | 0.4~1.0 | 0.40 | 0.40 | 0.10 | 0.05~0.25 | 0.25 | 0.15 | 0.15 | Remainder |
Physical Properties
5083 aluminum is similar to all 5000 series aluminum alloys and cannot be strengthened by heat treatment. This alloy type belongs to the highest strength non-heat treatment alloy and is not recommended for use in high temperature environments;

| Density | 2650 kg/m³ | 0.0961 lb/in³ |
| Melting Point | 591-638°C | 1095-1180°F |
5083 Alloy Aluminum Tread Plate
5083 Alloy Aluminum Tread Plate is obtained by rolling 5083 as the substrate, so it can inherit all the advantages of 5083 aluminum;
5083 Alloy Aluminum Tread Plate has a variety of patterns, 1 bar, 2 bar, 3 bar, 5 bar, and so on.
Common Temper
| 5083-F | It has the lowest strength compared to the other variants of 5083 aluminum |
| 5083-H111 | 5083-H111 aluminum is 5083 aluminum in the H111 temper. To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened to a strength that is lower than what is permissible for H11 (1/8-hard). |
| 5083-H112 | This temper is actually just a variation on F (as-fabricated) that allows for the possibility of very limited strain hardening or heat treatment, under certain conditions. |
| 5083-H116 | To achieve this temper, the metal is treated in whatever manner is required to develop a particular degree of intergranular and exfoliation corrosion. |
| 5083-H12 | To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened to a strength that is roughly a quarter of the way between annealed (O) and full-hard (H18). |
| 5083-H14 | To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened to a strength that is roughly halfway between annealed (O) and full-hard (H18) |
| 5083-H16 | To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened to a strength that is roughly 3/4 of the way between annealed (O) and full-hard (H18). It has the lowest ductility compared to the other variants of 5083 aluminum. |
| 5083-H22 | To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened, and then partially annealed, to a strength that is roughly a quarter of the way between annealed (O) and full-hard (H28). |
| 5083-H24 | To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened, and then partially annealed, to a strength that is roughly halfway between annealed (O) and full-hard (H28). |
| 5083-H26 | To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened, and then partially annealed, to a strength that is roughly 3/4 of the way between annealed (O) and full-hard (H28). |
| 5083-H32 | To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened, and then stabilized, to a strength that is roughly a quarter of the way between annealed (O) and full-hard (H38). |
| 5083-H321 | To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened, and then stabilized, to a strength that is roughly a quarter of the way between annealed (O) and full-hard (H38). The treatment process also has to leave the metal with a certain degree of resistance to intergranular and exfoliation corrosion. |
| 5083-H34 | To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened, and then stabilized, to a strength that is roughly halfway between annealed (O) and full-hard (H38). |
| 5083-H36 | To achieve this temper, the metal is strain hardened, and then stabilized, to a strength that is roughly 3/4 of the way between annealed (O) and full-hard (H38). |
| 5083-O | It has the highest ductility compared to the other variants of 5083 aluminum. |
Typical applications of 5083 aluminum tread plate
5083 aluminum tread plate is a type of aluminum plate that has a raised diamond pattern on its surface, making it slip-resistant and durable. It is commonly used in applications that require a high level of strength and corrosion resistance.
Some typical applications of 5083 aluminum tread plate include:
Marine: 5083 aluminum tread plate is commonly used in the marine industry for boat hulls, decks, and other structural components due to its high corrosion resistance and strength.
Transportation: It is also used in the transportation industry for trailer flooring, truck bed liners, and other applications that require slip-resistant surfaces.
Industrial: The tread plate is used in various industrial applications such as stairs, catwalks, and platforms due to its non-slip surface.
Construction: 5083 aluminum tread plate is used in construction applications for stairs, ramps, and walkways.
Decorative: The raised diamond pattern of the tread plate also makes it a popular choice for decorative applications, such as wall panels, backsplashes, and countertops.
Packaging
The packaging process of 5083 aluminum tread plate is basically the same as that of normal aluminum plate, both of which need to be covered with Sydney paper, covered with plastic, and then kraft paper and wooden pallets;
There are two main purposes of aluminum plate packaging:
- 1. Prevent damage caused by collision during transportation;
- 2. Moisture-proof, prevent the aluminum plate from being corroded by seawater during sea transportation;
