5083 5052 H32 60mm aluminum bar for boat
The 5083 and 5052 H32 60mm aluminum bars represent premium-grade marine aluminum specifically engineered for the rigorous demands of boat building and marine environments. These bars feature exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion, excellent strength-to-weight ratio, and enhanced formability due to their H32 tempering, making them optimal for structural components in ship hulls, decks, and hardware.
Features
Thickness: 60 mm (2.36 inches), providing robust sectional strength adequate for structural firmness in marine engineering.
Typical Alloys:
5083-H32 Aluminum Bar: Striking higher strength and exceptional stress corrosion cracking-resistance; widely favored in marine-grade construction.
5052-H32 Aluminum Bar: Known for superior corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity, offering excellent workability.
Temper: H32 — strain-hardened and stabilized temper imparting medium strength and excellent corrosion resistance with some level of cold working.
Corrosion Resistance: Outstanding resistance to saline and humid marine environments, hampering pitting and saltwater corrosion.
Mechanical Strength:
5083-H32 tensile strength approximately 275-320 MPa with yield strength ~145-215 MPa.
5052-H32 tensile strength roughly 200-260 MPa with yield strength ~130-160 MPa.
Workability: Excellent machinability and formability without reducing corrosion resistance, suitable for high precision weldments or bending.

Implementation Standards
- ASTM B637: Standard specification for high-strength wrought aluminum alloys in ingot form.
- AMS 4047: Aluminum alloy bars, forgings, and shapes standards suitable for aerospace and marine.
- ISO 209-1: Marine aluminum alloy standards for structural purposes.
- RoHS Compliance: Free from hazardous substances according to environmental requirements.
Application and Use Cases
- Boat Building: Constructing hulls, decks, supporting frames, brackets, cleats, and marine fittings.
- Shipbuilding: Corrosion-resistant machinery housings, superstructures, and bulkheads.
- Transportation: Elevated usage due to its high strength-weight ratio in marine trucks or vessels.
- Heavy Industrial Parts: Fabrication parts needing intact corrosion performance and toughness.
Temper Description - H32
2-Step partial hardening by strain plus naturally aged and stabilized to balance improved strength while maintaining significant ductility. The H32 temper:
- Resists unwarranted softening in estuarine or harbors’ environments.
- Typical stress exhaustion characteristics extend equipment life.
Storage, Handling, and Machining Tips
- Store the aluminum bar in a dry environment to minimize oxidation or surface degradation.
- Ideal machining conditions exist under moderate speeds and tooling with frequent lubricant use.
- Edge protection is essential while handling 60mm stock thickness to avoid accidental deformation.
