Haomei Aluminum offers complete sizes of 5059 aluminum sheet(top grade 5000 aluminum alloy) for different applications like shipbuilding, fuel tank, chemical equipment,etc. Inquire now!
5059 aluminum plate is an improved alloy developed based on the traditional 5000 series (aluminum-magnesium) alloys to meet the requirements of higher strength and corrosion resistance.
By optimizing the ratio of elements such as magnesium and manganese and strictly controlling impurities, it retains the excellent resistance to marine atmospheric corrosion of established alloys such as aluminum 5083, while significantly improving tensile strength (usually reaching over 300MPa), and also has good weldability and processability.
This material is mainly used in fields with dual stringent requirements for material strength and salt spray corrosion resistance, such as marine engineering structural components, ship decks, liquefied natural gas (LNG) carrier storage tanks, and high-end tanker truck.
