Product Description
5083 Aluminium Pipes are made from Aluminum Alloy 5083, which is part of the 5000 series of aluminum alloys. 5083 aluminum is known for its exceptionally high strength, outstanding corrosion resistance, and excellent performance in demanding environments, particularly in marine and offshore applications. This offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, providing excellent mechanical properties, which makes them ideal for use in high-stress applications where strength and low weight are important. Due to its outstanding corrosion resistance, high strength, and weldability, 5083 Aluminium Pipes are widely used in demanding applications, particularly in the marine, offshore, and aerospace industries.
Superior Strength and Corrosion Resistance5083 Aluminium Pipes are built to withstand extreme conditions. With high tensile strength (275-350 MPa) and an elongation range of 12%-16%, these pipes maintain integrity even under stress. Their excellent corrosion resistance, especially against saltwater, makes them an excellent choice for marine and chemical environments where durability is paramount.
Flexible Dimensions and CustomizationAvailable in outer diameters ranging from 8 mm to 400 mm and thicknesses from 1 mm to 20 mm, 5083 Aluminium Pipes come in lengths up to 6 meters or tailored to your project needs. With round, customizable cross-sections, and the option for mill finish or polished surfaces, they fit a wide variety of applications and specifications.
Optimized for Versatile ApplicationsDesigned for both structural and fluid-handling uses, 5083 Aluminium Pipes are commonly employed in the marine, oil & gas, chemical, aircraft, transport, and construction industries. Their lightweight yet strong profile ensures easy handling and installation, while their non-sparking nature adds a layer of safety in sensitive environments.
