Product Description
The materials you are referencing belong to the Al-Mg (5000 series) group of aluminum alloys, though they occupy different niches. JIS 5082 is a moderate-to-high strength structural alloy, while AFNOR 5183 is primarily recognized as a high-performance filler material that is also available as plate for specialized structural components.
JIS 5082 - Moderate Strength Structural Alloy
The JIS 5082 (Japanese Industrial Standard) is an Al-Mg alloy that offers a balance of strength and weldability. It is often compared to 5083, though it typically has a slightly different magnesium and manganese ratio.
-
Key Characteristics:
-
Corrosion Resistance: Excellent in marine environments and atmospheric conditions.
-
Formability: Good, especially in the annealed (O) or partially hardened (H32) states.
-
Weldability: Highly weldable with standard MIG/TIG processes.

AFNOR 5183 - High-Magnesium Structural & Filler Alloy
The AFNOR 5183 (French National Standard) is a high-magnesium aluminum alloy ($4.3% - 5.2% text{ Mg}$). While famous as a welding filler rod, it is produced in plates and blocks for applications where the highest possible welded joint strength is required.
-
Key Characteristics:
-
Strength: One of the strongest 5000-series alloys, maintaining high integrity after welding.
-
Low Temperature: Excellent for cryogenic service (retains ductility at $-196{circ}C$).
-
Restriction: Not recommended for continuous service above $65{circ}C$ ($150{circ}F$) due to susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking.
-
Common Applications:
Chemical Composition (AFNOR 5183):
-
Magnesium (Mg): 4.3% 5.2%
-
Manganese (Mn): 0.5% 1.0%
-
Chromium (Cr): 0.05% 0.25%
