The 5 series aluminum plate belongs to the more common alloy aluminum plate series. The added alloying element is mainly magnesium, and the magnesium content is between 3-5%. It can also be called aluminum-magnesium alloy. The 5083-H116 aluminum plate belongs to the hot rolled aluminum plate series.

5083-H116 aluminum plate is commonly used in transportation, and is used in automobile fuel tanks and aircraft fuel tanks. It can also be used as a marine aluminum plate. With the continuous development of aerospace industry and transportation, automobiles, ships and aircraft have become important transportation vehicles in modern times, and the demand for 5083-H116 aluminum plate will become larger and larger. The 5 series aluminum plate is one of the more mature aluminum plate series, and it is widely used in conventional industrial manufacturing.
The main features of marine grade aluminum 5083 h116 are low density, high tensile strength and high elongation. The weight of the aluminum-magnesium alloy is lower than that of other alloy series under the same area. Aluminum alloy sheets of different heat treatment conditions are the main materials used in the automobile manufacturing industry (car doors, fuel tanks, seals), shipbuilding and canning industries.

In addition, the magnesium alloy in the marine grade aluminum 5083 h116 has high strength, and the heat-treated alloy has good workability, corrosion resistance and weldability. The price of the general aluminum plate is divided into two parts. The aluminum price plus the processing fee, due to the complicated processing technology, requires high technical and equipment requirements to achieve excellent performance, so the price of the marine grade aluminum 5083 h116 is generally higher.
