What is the density of 5083?

2660 kg/m³ — the figure the weight calculators on this site use for 5083. The value is Hydro / Aluminium Association style alloy data’s.

What is the chemical composition of 5083?

Si ≤ 0.4, Mn 0.4–1, Cr 0.05–0.25, Cu ≤ 0.1, in mass %, to AA/ASTM chemistry reference. An element the standard sets no requirement for is left blank here rather than written as zero.

What are the mechanical properties of 5083?

Tensile 275–350 MPa, Yield ≥ 125 MPa, Elongation min ≥ 12 % — EN 485-2, Plate/Sheet, H111. Those are the standard’s requirements; the mill test certificate governs the metal delivered.
