5083 Machined Parts
A Guide to aluminium 5083 CNC Milled & Turned Parts: Properties, Applications and Design Considerations
What is 5083?
Aluminium 5083 is a medium strength magnesium-manganese-chromium-aluminium alloy.
The 5000 series grades of aluminium are non heat-treatable alloys.
The temper is achieved by the plate being fully annealed and then rolled to the required temper, rather than being heat treated.
It has good ductility for the strength level, better than most other 5000 series alloys.
Main Attributes of Aluminium 5083:
- Exceptional performance in extreme environments
- Highest strength of all non-treatable aluminium alloys
- Retains excellent strength after welding
- Slightly lower in cost than the common 6082T6
- Highly resistant to both seawater and industrial chemical attack
- Not recommended for use in applications which exceed 65°C

Aluminium 5083 CNC Milled Replacement Part
5083 grade and other similar variants are also extensively manufactured in the form of a “cast tooling plate” with a uniform microstructure, low internal stresses and flatter “plough” ground main faces (usually supplied with a thin plastic protective film).
A popular option for both machine builders (base, face and side plates) and jig and fixture manufacturers.
Industry Examples:
- Marine
- Petrochemical
- Nuclear
- Vehicle manufacture
- Defense / military
- Building and construction
