Product Description
EN AW-5083 (AlMg4.5Mn0.7) is a high-strength, non-heat-treatable alloy widely regarded as the industry standard for marine and extreme-environment applications.It offers the highest strength among the 5000-series alloys while maintaining exceptional weldability and resistance to seawater corrosion.
1. Key Designations
ISO: AlMg4.5Mn0.7
WNr (Werkstoffnummer): 3.3547
UNS: A95083
BS: N8
2. Understanding the Tempers: O vs. H111
While both tempers are physically similar, the difference lies in the final processing stage. In many commercial contexts, they are often dual-certified as O/H111.
5083-O (Annealed): This is the fully soft condition. The material is heated to its recrystallization temperature to remove all internal stresses. It offers maximum ductility and is the easiest to bend or form into complex shapes.
5083-H111 (Work-Hardened): This material is annealed and then subjected to a very small amount of work hardening during the final straightening or leveling process. It is slightly stiffer than the "O" temper but retains excellent formability.
3. Comparison of Mechanical Properties
The properties of 5083 can vary slightly depending on the thickness of the plate.

4. Key Engineering Notes
Marine Excellence: It is the preferred grade for shipbuilding (hulls and decks) because it does not lose its corrosion resistance after being welded.
Temperature Limit:Important! 5083 is not recommended for continuous service in temperatures exceeding 65C (150F). High-magnesium alloys can become susceptible to intergranular corrosion and stress-corrosion cracking at elevated temperatures.
Weldability: Rated as excellent for arc welding (MIG/TIG).The recommended filler wire is typically 5183 to match the strength of the base metal.
ENAW-5083 aluminium plates and sheets are specifically engineered for use in marine environments, shipbuilding, offshore structures, and pressure vessels. Their remarkable corrosion resistance ensures long-term durability when exposed to seawater and harsh chemicals. With consistent strength retention at high temperatures, these alloys meet the rigorous demands of structural and marine fabrication.
Versatile Workability and Customization
With excellent properties for welding, cutting, drilling, bending, and forming, Aluminium ENAW-5083 plates and sheets are exceedingly versatile. They accommodate custom shapes, sizes, and surface finishes (mill finish or PVC coated), making them adaptable to a wide range of industrial needs, from transport and automotive to cryogenic and chemical applications.
Strict Compliance and Sustainable Solutions
Manufactured under international standards (EN AW-5083, ASTM B209, EN485-2, EN573-3), these plates and sheets comply with flatness, tolerance, and mechanical property requirements. They are recyclable, supporting sustainable industry practices, and can be tailored to customer specifications, including packaging and delivery conditions.
FAQ's of Aluminium ENAW-5083 Plates & Sheets (5083 - O, 5083 - H111):
Q: How are Aluminium ENAW-5083 Plates & Sheets typically used in industry?
A: Aluminium ENAW-5083 Plates & Sheets are widely used for shipbuilding, marine and offshore structures, pressure vessels, automotive, railway, and chemical industries, thanks to their high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and workability.
Q: What fabrication processes can be applied to ENAW-5083 plates and sheets?
A: ENAW-5083 plates and sheets can be cut, drilled, machined, bent, and welded, providing excellent flexibility during fabrication. Their outstanding workability suits both manual and automated manufacturing processes.
Q: When should I choose the O temper versus H111 temper for ENAW-5083 sheets?
A: Choose the O temper (annealed) when maximum ductility and formability are required (16% elongation at break). The H111 temper offers slightly higher yield and tensile strength, with good formability (12% elongation), suitable for parts needing moderate shaping and enhanced strength.
Q: Where can I get ENAW-5083 plates and sheets in custom sizes or finishes?
A: Many reputable fabricators, exporters, dealers, and suppliers in India offer ENAW-5083 plates and sheets with customization options for size, thickness (1-200 mm), shape, and surface finish, including mill finish and PVC coated if required.
Q: How does ENAW-5083 perform in marine and corrosive environments?
A: ENAW-5083 demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemical-exposed settings. This makes it a reliable material for shipbuilding, offshore structures, and storage vessels handling aggressive substances.
Q: What are the packing and delivery conditions provided?
A: ENAW-5083 plates and sheets are packed in standard seaworthy packaging for export and can be supplied in O (annealed) or H111 (slightly strain-hardened) delivery conditions, as specified by the customer.
Q: What is the main benefit of using ENAW-5083 alloy for industrial applications?
A: The primary benefit is its combination of high strength, ease of fabrication, superior weldability, and outstanding corrosion resistance, particularly under harsh environmental conditions. It is also recyclable, promoting sustainable practices.
