5083 grade and other similar variants are also extensively manufactured in the form of a “cast tooling plate” with a uniform microstructure, low internal stresses and flatter “plough” ground main faces (usually supplied with a thin plastic protective film).

“High frequency turning” and pecking cycles help chip stringy swarf and assist swarf management when turning. This is less of an issue when milling. Thread milling rather than tapping can lead to better results when forming threaded holes.

5083 grade is not as readily available as the popular commercial grade 6082T6. Stock sizes and volume are more restricted and requires more sourcing.

The temper is achieved by the plate being fully annealed and then rolled to the required temper, rather than being heat treated.

For best stock removal we use high rake, high helix cutters and light cuts with higher speed and feed rates. However experimentation is required as alloying tolerances are broad and can lead to different settings from batch to batch.

5083 grade aluminium presents very little or no issues when machining. It behaves like many other aluminium grades. Chips can be “sticky” so we keep lots of coolant on the tool to minimise galling and fusion.
