5083 Precision-Slit Aluminum Strip: Widths to ±0.05 mm, Tempers, Coil Sourcing & Pricing

±0.05 mm is standard on all slit widths; ±0.02 mm is available for die-critical applications. Every coil is laser-measured and the report ships with the mill certificate.

0.15 mm is our standard minimum for 5083. Below that, consider 8011/8021 foil or a 5052 strip at heavier gauge — 5083’s work-hardening makes ultra-thin gauges technically possible but rarely economic.

Choose 5083 when the part is load-bearing or sits in a splash/immersion zone: it delivers roughly 30 % more strength at equal temper. Choose 5052 for general forming where the extra strength isn’t needed — it’s more formable and costs less. Comparison guide: 5052 vs 5083 for marine applications.

O temper only. 5083 work-hardens quickly, so H32 and above will crack on deep draws. For severe drawing applications, 5052-O or 3003-O draw more forgivingly — send the part drawing and our engineers will confirm.

Yes. Weld with ER5356 or ER5183 filler; the joint retains the alloy’s inherent seawater corrosion resistance. The heat-affected zone softens to near-O strength — design weld joints accordingly.

Yes — deburred edge (burr ≤ 0.02 mm) and rounded/drawn edges are available on request for winding, armouring and edge-contact applications. Add roughly 3–6 % to strip price.

500 kg per width-thickness combination. If your width can be slit from one of our running stock master coils, trial quantities can be smaller — ask our sales desk for current running widths.

Moisture-barrier wrapped with desiccant, on ISPM-15 wooden pallets or in crates, steel-strapped with edge protection, and labelled with alloy/temper/size/heat number. Container loading plans are sent before shipment.

EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate with actual chemistry and mechanicals, plus the slit-width laser measurement report. Marine class certificates (DNV/ABS/LR/BV/CCS) are available for offshore armouring orders.

Yes — strip is slit from the same 5083 production system as our plate and coil, so heat-to-heat chemistry and temper logic stay consistent across your assembly. One certificate system covers all forms.

12–25 days production depending on width and temper, plus sea transit 25–35 days. Widths slit from running stock masters can ship significantly faster — check availability before planning your production run.

For case components, brackets and busbar supports, yes — it’s non-magnetic and corrosion-proof. For the winding conductor itself, electrical-grade alloys (1350, 1050, 1060) or 3003 transformer strip are the correct choice; 5083’s high Mg hurts conductivity.

Weight (kg/m) = thickness (mm) × width (mm) × 0.00271. A 1.0 × 100 mm strip runs 0.271 kg/m. Full formulas in our aluminum weight calculation guide.

Yes — it anodises cleanly with good film hardness. Expect a slightly greyer tone than 6061 or 5052; for colour-matched cosmetic parts, sample-anodise first.

From running stock widths, yes. Fully custom widths carry the 500 kg MOQ because each new width requires knife setup on the slitter. Stocked widths change weekly — ask for the current list.

Typically 10–20 % higher for 5083 at equal gauge and temper, driven by higher magnesium content and slower rolling. Check our 2026 aluminum price guide for the LME-linked pricing logic behind quotes.
