5083 H22

5083-H22 is an aluminum-magnesium alloy plate, belonging to the 5xxx series of non-heat-treatable aluminum alloys.

5083-H22 aluminum is a strain-hardened and partially annealed variant of 5083 aluminum alloy, known for its high magnesium content and excellent corrosion resistance. The H22 temper indicates that the material has been strain-hardened to a quarter-hard temper and then partially annealed to reduce internal stress while retaining part of the strength gained during the strain hardening process.

5083 H22 Aluminum

5083-H22 is a strain-hardened and partially annealed condition of 5083 aluminum alloy, which is a non-heat-treatable alloy known for its high strength and corrosion resistance.

Strain hardening: Mechanical stress is applied to improve strength and hardness.
Partial annealing: The material is heated and cooled to reduce internal stresses, achieving a balance between strength and retained ductility. This results in a strength level between the annealed (O) and full hard (H28) states, approximately 25%.
