Description
OK Tigrod 5183 was developed to provide the
highest possible strengtht in the as-welded condition
of alloy AA 5083 and similar high magnesium
alloys. The more common OK Tigrod 5356
will typically fail to meet the as-welded tensile
requirements of AA 5083. The alloy is typically
utilised in marine and structural applications
where high strength, high impact fracture toughness
and exposure to corrosive elements are
important. The alloy is not recommended for
elevated temperature applications due to its
susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking. The
alloy is non-heat treatable.
