1.Product Description
5083 Marine Grade Aluminum pipe
Aluminum 5083 is known for its exceptional performance in extreme environments. Aluminum 5083 is highly resistant to attack by both seawater and industrial chemical environments.
Aluminum 5083 also retains exceptional strength after welding. It has the highest strength of the non-heat-treatable alloys but is not recommended for use in temperatures in excess of 65°C.
