There are differences between 5083, 5086, and 6061 aluminum plates in terms of their chemical composition, properties, and applications:
Chemical composition:
5083 aluminum plate: magnesium content is about 4.5%~5.5%, with lower content of other elements;
5086 aluminum plate: magnesium content is about 3.5%~4.5%, with lower content of other elements;
6061 aluminum plate: magnesium content is about 0.8%~1.2%, with a higher proportion of silicon, copper, zinc, iron, and other elements.
Properties:
5083 aluminum plate: has good corrosion resistance and welding performance, with high strength and plasticity, suitable for manufacturing marine engineering equipment, ships, and railway vehicles;
5086 aluminum plate: has good formability, welding performance, and corrosion resistance, suitable for manufacturing ships, aircraft cover panels, transportation equipment, etc.;
6061 aluminum plate: has high strength, plasticity, and corrosion resistance, suitable for manufacturing aircraft, automotive components, building structural materials, etc.
Applications:
5083 aluminum plate: mainly used in the manufacture of marine engineering equipment, ships, and railway vehicles, etc.;
5086 aluminum plate: mainly used in the manufacture of ships, aircraft cover panels, transportation equipment, etc.;
6061 aluminum plate: mainly used in the manufacture of aircraft, automotive components, building structural materials, etc.
Mechanical processing performance:
