5086 H32 Aluminum Plate
5086 H32 aluminum plate belongs to the aluminum-magnesium alloy (5xxx series), with "H32" indicating a strain-hardened and partially annealed condition. This condition balances the material's strength and formability through a combination of cold working and annealing processes.
5086-H32 aluminum plate is a high-strength, corrosion-resistant material primarily used for marine and structural applications. The "H32" condition signifies that the alloy has undergone strain hardening and stabilization treatment, resulting in a balance between strength and formability.
5086 H32 is a high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloy plate known for its excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, and moderate formability.

5086 H32 Aluminum Plate Properties
- High Strength and Durability: 5086 H32 is renowned for its high strength and excellent performance in seawater and industrial chemicals, making it ideal for marine environments.
- Corrosion Resistance: The magnesium content (3.5–4.5%) provides excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in seawater environments. It is resistant to stress corrosion cracking (the H32 stabilization treatment reduces residual stress).
- Weldability: The alloy is easy to weld, but due to its high magnesium content, extra care should be taken during welding to avoid cracking.
- Non-Heat-Treatable: Strength comes primarily from strain hardening (work hardening), not heat treatment.
- Formability: Medium; suitable for bending and forming, but its ductility is not as high as in annealed conditions (e.g., H111).
- Machinability: Average; due to the sticky nature of chips, sharp tools and lubrication are necessary.
5086 H32 Aluminum Plate Advantages
- Corrosion Resistance: Excellent performance in marine and other harsh environments, making it an ideal choice for marine and coastal structures.
- Strength: High strength in both rolled and extruded forms, providing structural integrity for applications.
- Versatility: Its versatility allows for a wide range of applications from marine industry to aerospace.
- Weldability: Excellent arc welding performance, suitable for complex structural welding.
- Machinability: Supports secondary processing such as cutting and bending, adaptable to diverse needs.
This material stands out for its overall performance, widely used in industrial scenarios requiring high corrosion resistance and moderate strength, and it can meet various design requirements by adjusting supply conditions.

5086 H32 Aluminum Plate Corrosion Resistance
5086-H32 aluminum material has excellent performance in seawater and marine environments, making it an ideal choice for hulls, ship structures, and other marine applications.
5086 H32 Aluminum Plate Manufacturing and Machinability
This alloy is not heat-treatable but can be strengthened through strain hardening. It is easy to weld, machine, and form. However, due to its high magnesium content, special measures may be required during welding to prevent cracking.
- Machining: While 5086 is fairly easy to machine due to its strength and hardness, care must be taken to avoid work hardening.
- Welding: Using 5356 or 5183 filler rods achieves the best results. Standard welding processes such as MIG or TIG can be used, but due to the high magnesium content, precautions must be taken to prevent cracking. Preheating before welding is sometimes recommended.
- Forming: The alloy is easy to form, but as the material hardens (strain hardening), forming difficulty increases. Excessive cold working should be avoided, and annealing is recommended if severe forming is required.
- Surface Treatment: Typically undergoes a smooth finish. Anodizing or painting can enhance aesthetics and protection.
