5086 aluminum wire is a high-strength, non-heat-treatable aluminum alloy from the Al–Mg–Mn series. It is highly regarded for its exceptional corrosion resistance, superior strength, and excellent fatigue performance. Compared with 5083 aluminum wire, 5086 provides slightly higher tensile strength and is widely used in marine, automotive, and structural applications where durability under harsh conditions is critical.
Description
Features
- Exceptional Corrosion Resistance
Highly resistant to seawater, marine atmospheres, and industrial environments, ideal for harsh and outdoor conditions.
- High Strength
Provides higher tensile and yield strength than most 5xxx series alloys, suitable for high-load applications.
- Good Formability and Ductility
Maintains excellent bending, drawing, and forming performance, ideal for precision fabrication.
- Non-Heat-Treatable Alloy
Strength is achieved through cold working and strain hardening rather than heat treatment.
- Good Weldability
Compatible with common welding processes, providing strong and reliable joints.
