With a strong commitment to quality and performance, Boikanyo caters to a diverse array of industries, including marine, transportation, construction, and structural engineering. The company provides precision-engineered aluminium solutions that adhere to both local and international standards. Renowned for its impressive strength, corrosion resistance, and weldability, the Aluminium 5086 Channel from Boikanyo is a dependable option for heavy-duty and high-performance applications, especially in challenging environments.
Aluminium 5086 Channel is an aluminium-magnesium alloy that contains about 3.5–4.5% magnesium and 0.2–0.7% manganese, along with trace amounts of iron, silicon, and chromium. This unique composition grants the alloy outstanding corrosion resistance, particularly in marine and saltwater settings. While it’s not heat-treatable, it can be strain-hardened to enhance its strength. Typical mechanical properties include a tensile strength ranging from 260–350 MPa and a yield strength of 145–280 MPa, depending on the temper. With commendable fatigue strength and elongation between 10–20%, Aluminium 5086 maintains its structural integrity post-welding, making it suitable for demanding load-bearing applications.
