Marine grade aluminum 5086 is structural alloy, which offers users strong corrosion resistance and high electrical conductivity. Offering higher strength levels than 5052 or 5083, Aluminum 5086 becomes stronger with stain hardening and cold working, all while remaining a cost-effective choice. It can be welded with conventional methods, though electric arc welding is preferred.

Alloy 5086 marine grade aluminum plate have even higher strength than 5052 or 5083 and its mechanical properties vary significantly with hardening and temperature. It is not strengthened by heat treatment; instead, it becomes stronger due to strain hardening or cold working of the material. This alloy can be readily welded, retaining most of its mechanical strength. The good results with welding and good corrosion properties in seawater make alloy 5086 extremely popular in marine applications.
