5083 5086 Aluminum Sheet for Boat

Marine aluminum alloys have the characteristics of small specific gravity and elastic modulus, good corrosion resistance, weldability, easy processing, non-magnetic and good low temperature performance, etc. It has the following advantages when used in ships:

1. Because of its small specific gravity, it can reduce the weight of the ship, reduce the capacity of the single engine, and increase the speed.

2. It can reduce fuel consumption and save fuel, improve the aspect ratio of the boat and increase the load capacity.

3. Because of good corrosion resistance, maintenance costs such as oiling can be reduced, and the service life can be extended (usually more than 20 years).

4. The marine aluminum sheets like 5083 aluminum sheet have good processing and forming performance and are easy to perform various forms of processing such as cutting, stamping, cold bending, which is is suitable for making streamlined hulls.

5. The marine aluminum alloy has good welding performance, which can be welded more easily.

6. It has small elastic modulus and has large ability to absorb impact stress.

7. Aluminum scrap is easy to recover and can be recycled.

8. It doesn’t have low-temperature brittleness, which is suitable for low-temperature equipment.

9. The ships made of aluminum alloys don’t have insect damage and dry deformation.

Three alloys of 5083, 5086 and 5383 are mainly used in the hull structure, and their corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and welding performance are all good. Generally speaking, the common tempers of 5086 marine aluminum plates are O, H111, H112, H116, H321 and so on.

5083 aluminum alloy is a typical Al-Mg alloy, which cannot be strengthened by heat treatment, and has the characteristics of medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability, and easy processing and forming. Many foreign speedboats are built with 5083 aluminum sheet.

5083 aluminum machinability is very good. Under the same conditions, a boat made of 5083 aluminum alloy can withstand greater pressure than a boat made of fiberglass, steel plate, or 5052 aluminum alloy when it is hit, without breaking or deforming.
