I'm looking at some aluminium plate in 5083 at a remainder yard. They have some 5083-H116 and some 5083-H321. Can anyone explain in simple terms, first, what the grades mean and second, what effect if any will welding the differing grades together have? I did a very quick google search but didn't find what I wanted to know.
Material is 6.3mm thick or 1/4" in imperial.
The intended use is for a boat hull so assume the heat affected zone will be exposed to salt water.
Thanks.
