Item Details:
5183 filler metal is the most common aluminum/magnesium alloy for welding 5083 base metal in ship building applications. 5183 has higher strength values than 5356 with excellent salt water corrosion resistance when welded to 5083. Features/Benefits: Very high strength (41 ksi typical). High ductility/toughness/fatigue strength. Moderate ductility/formability. Lower electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. Excellent corrosion resistance when welding 5083 base material. Higher column strength/better feedability. Very good color match after anodizing with 5xxx/6xxx base materials.
