5083-H131 aluminum alloy (MIL-DTL-46027) is a non-heat treatment strain hardening aluminum-magnesium alloy.
5083 h131 aluminium armor plate has very high resistance to cracks and stress corrosion cracks, easy to weld, corrosion resistance, and has excellent resistance to fragmentation. The lower half of the M113 armored personnel carrier, the M109 Paladin self-propelled howitzer and the Bradley fighting vehicle are made of 5083 aluminum alloy.
The US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the North American Magnesium Alloy Elektron Company (MENA) have jointly researched and evaluated
5083 h131 aluminium armor plate rolled plates. MENA is responsible for sheet manufacturing and mechanical property analysis, while American ARL is responsible for anti-elasticity analysis. The US Army aims to provide higher performance protection with a smaller mass, so it is a potentially advantageous armor alloy material.
The
5083 h131 aluminium armor plate has the same ductility, but the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and tensile yield strength of the 5083 H131 are relatively high, which can be used to resist armor-piercing projectiles.
