5083 aluminum is a non-heat-treatable Al-Mg alloy (approximately 4.4–5.0% Mg) with excellent seawater corrosion resistance and moderate strength, widely used in marine structures, pressure vessels, and cryogenic applications. The H112 temper (solution heat-treated and stress-relieved) provides controlled strength and ductility suitable for extrusions and plate stock, with typical yield strengths around 215–230 MPa and elongation values of 10–15% depending on section size.
