VT machining offers CNC Swiss Machining for 5086 Aluminum (UNS A95086 / EN AW-5086), typically supplied H32 / H116. Between 5052 and 5083 in strength; excellent seawater resistance.
CNC Swiss Machining Notes for 5086 Aluminum
5086 Aluminum can be Swiss-turned, but slower cutting data and guide-bushing clearances are set for this grade to protect slender features.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of 5086 Aluminum weighs about 0.27 kg.
