5086 H111 Plate

5086-H111 Aluminum Plate is a marine-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy known for its outstanding corrosion resistance, moderate strength, and excellent weldability. It is widely used in maritime, transportation, and structural applications where durability in harsh environments is critical.

5086 is a non-heat-treatable aluminum-magnesium alloy from the 5xxx series, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, medium strength, and weldability. The H111 temper indicates that the alloy has undergone light strain hardening (rolling or cold working) followed by partial annealing to stabilize its properties, thus balancing formability and mechanical strength.

5086 H111 Plate

Haomei Aluminum specializes in the production of 5086 H111 medium-thick aluminum plates, with thickness ranging from 0.15-600mm to meet the demanding requirements of ships, automobiles, pressure vessels, and other harsh environments. We use advanced hot-rolling production lines, ensuring high precision (tolerance ≤±2mm), finely polished surfaces, strong seawater corrosion resistance, and support for custom cutting and welding services. We provide BV/DNV/ABS and other international certifications, with a quick response to custom needs.

5086 H111 Plate Alloy Composition

The main component of 5086 aluminum alloy is magnesium, which gives it high corrosion resistance, especially in seawater environments. The typical chemical composition includes:

  • Magnesium (Mg): 3.5–4.5%
  • Manganese (Mn): 0.2–0.7%
  • Chromium (Cr): 0.05–0.25%
  • Copper (Cu): ≤0.10%
  • Iron (Fe): ≤0.5%
  • Silicon (Si): ≤0.4%
  • Titanium (Ti): ≤0.15%
  • Zinc (Zn): ≤0.25%
  • Others: each ≤0.05%, total ≤0.15%
  • Balance: Aluminum (Al)

This composition ensures high strength and excellent corrosion resistance in marine environments.

5086 H111 Plate Mechanical Properties

The H111 temper indicates that the alloy has been strain-hardened, with a lower strength than the H32/H34 temper, achieving a balance between strength and ductility. Typical mechanical properties include:

  • Tensile Strength: 260–300 MPa
  • Yield Strength: 120–200 MPa
  • Elongation: 12–20% (indicating good ductility)
  • Hardness: approximately 60–75 Brinell Hardness (HB)

Note: The strength of H111 is lower than that of H32/H34, but its formability is better.

These properties make 5086-H111 aluminum suitable for applications that require moderate strength and good formability.

5086 H111 Plate Features

  • Corrosion Resistance: Excellent performance in marine/coastal environments; resistant to seawater, chemicals, and industrial environments.
  • Weldability: Easily welded using TIG, MIG, or resistance welding; good performance after welding.
  • Formability: Due to the stable state of H111, it is suitable for bending, rolling, or forming.
  • Non-heat-treatable: Strengthened only by strain hardening.

5086 H111 Plate Corrosion Resistance

5086 aluminum exhibits outstanding corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments. Its high magnesium content enhances its resistance to seawater corrosion, making it an ideal choice for shipbuilding and other marine applications.

5086 aluminum can withstand seawater erosion without losing strength, making it the preferred choice for shipbuilding and other maritime applications.

5086 H111 Plate Weldability and Formability

  • The H111 temper ensures a balance between strength and formability.
  • 5086 H111 can be easily welded using traditional methods such as MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding.
  • 5086 H111 is also suitable for other forming processes, such as bending and stamping.

This gives it a broad range of manufacturing capabilities, making it ideal for applications that require both structural strength and ease of processing.

Comparison of 5086 H111 Plate with Similar Alloys

  • 5083 vs 5086: 5083 has a higher magnesium content (4.0-4.9%), resulting in higher strength but slightly lower corrosion resistance.
  • 5052 vs 5086: 5052 has a lower magnesium content (2.2-2.8%), leading to lower strength but better formability.

Why Choose 5086 H111?

It is ideal for applications that require medium strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and ease of processing, especially in marine or corrosive environments. Its H111 temper provides great versatility in forming and welding, without compromising durability.

5086 H111 Plate Processing Notes

  • Processing: Use sharp tools and lubricants; chips may appear as stringy.
  • Annealing: H111 does not require annealing; avoid excessive cold working to prevent cracking.
  • Surface Treatment: Usually supplied with a rolled surface; anodizing or painting can enhance appearance.
