Aluminum Plate 8 mm

Aluminum Plate 8 mm 5A06 (Marine Grade Aluminum): Reliability for Extreme Conditions from APTT-TRADE

Looking for a material that stands up to saltwater and aggressive chemicals? APTT TRADING LTD offers high-strength 8 mm aluminum plates made of specialized alloy 5A06 (a premium quality equivalent to AMg6 / 5019). Products are already in stock at our warehouses in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Cherkasy.

Technical Advantages of the 8 mm Plate (Alloy 5A06):
Alloy 5A06 belongs to the aluminum-magnesium (Al-Mg) group and is widely known as “marine grade aluminum” due to its outstanding performance characteristics:

• Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Maximum durability in marine environments and chlorinated media without requiring additional surface protection.

• High Strength in H112 Temper: The H112 delivery condition guarantees a stable structural integrity after extrusion or rolling, making it ideal for load-bearing structural elements.

• Flawless Weldability: One of the finest alloys for creating airtight and leak-proof welded structures. The weld joint strength is nearly equal to that of the base metal.

• Excellent Ductility: The 8 mm plate responds well to deformation, allowing for the manufacturing of complex bent parts without cracking.

In-Stock Technical Specifications:

• Plate Thickness: 8 mm (5 mm is also available).

• Temper/Condition: H112.

• Alloy: 5A06 (matches GOST AMg6 / EN AW 5019).
• Services: Precision custom-size cutting on professional equipment and CNC milling of components according to your drawings.

Applications of the 8 mm Plate:
Due to its 8 mm thickness, this rolled product serves as a foundational component for:

• Shipbuilding: Manufacturing of speedboat hulls, deck flooring, bulkheads, and fuel tanks.
• Chemical Engineering: Production of storage tanks for aggressive substances and welded industrial equipment.
• Aerospace and Space Exploration: Manufacturing of welded assemblies and fuel systems where a combination of lightweight properties and vibration resistance is critical.
• Construction: Load-bearing structures for high-humidity environments (swimming pools, port and offshore facilities).

Why Order from APTT-TRADE?

• Direct Import: We source metal directly from manufacturers, ensuring the best market price and strict quality control.
• In-House Stock: Consistent availability of 8 mm plates at our warehouses in Kyiv, Dnipro, and Cherkasy.
• Fast Logistics: Same-day dispatch with rapid delivery to Kharkiv, Kyiv, Odesa, and all across Ukraine.
• Advanced Processing: We don’t just sell metal — we offer professional processing on high-precision CNC machines.

For engineers and materials scientists, chemical composition is the decisive factor when selecting a material. Alloy 5A06 is an enhanced equivalent to AMg6 (5019), featuring a higher magnesium content that ensures increased mechanical strength and superior resistance to aggressive environments.

Key Advantages of Alloy 5A06:

• High Magnesium (Mg) Content: A magnesium concentration of over 5.5% makes these alloys the strongest among non-heat-treatable aluminum grades. This ensures excellent ductility during welding.
• Titanium (Ti) Additions: Titanium refines the grain structure of the metal, preventing cracking within the weld joint and the heat-affected zone (HAZ).
• Beryllium (Be): The presence of beryllium (even in trace amounts) protects the molten metal from oxidation during the welding process, guaranteeing a clean and airtight weld seam.

Physical Properties of the 8 mm Plate:

• Weight: The 8 mm 5A06 plate has a density of 2.64 g/cm³, making it lighter than 2024 or 7075 alloys.
• Welding: Due to its high compositional purity, the 5A06 plate is perfectly suited for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW / TIG).
