Aluminium AW5083 ground plate

Main characteristics

• High dimensional stability during and after machining.
• Good weldability (TIG/MIG, filler 5356).
• Very good corrosion resistance, welded or unwelded.
• Good behaviour at low temperatures.
• Well suited to protective and hard anodising.

As a cast product machined on both faces, it has a low level of internal stress, which limits the risk of distortion during machining, and good machinability.

Standard rolled products do not offer these quality levels at the same time. Its uniform structure limits the risk of porosity, and its mechanical properties cover a wide range of applications in very different fields.

Typical uses

• Tools and inspection gauges.
• Frames and mechanical components.
• Reference plates and supports.
• Special-purpose machines.
• Plates and parts with a high machining rate.
