Good Tensile Strength 5083 aluminum sheet for pressure vessels
5083 aluminum sheet/ plate has higher strength than 5052 aluminum sheet/plate and it is also highly resistant to corrosion. It is especially suited for cryogenic applications as it can withstand extremely low temperatures without becoming brittle or losing its other properties.
The most common tempers for 5083 aluminium are: O - Soft, H111 - Some work hardening imparted by shaping processes but less than required fro H11 temper and H32 - Work hardened by rolling then stabilised by low temperature heat treatment to quarter hard.

Packaging
1, the aluminum sheet for paper or film, to ensure that the surface of aluminum plate without scratches;
2, plastic or kraft paper wrapped to moisture and rain, to ensure that aluminum in the transport process clean and free of dirt;
3, the installation of wood and steel reinforcement, to avoid collision in the transport process to ensure that the aluminum plate geometry unchanged;
4, export products, are marked with a fumigation of wooden boxes and brackets for packaging;
5, according to the customer's other packaging requirements for packaging;
