Mareine Aluminum 5000 and 6000 Series

Aluminum alloys basically have 8 series, among which only 5000 and 6000 series marine grade aluminum alloys are internationally recognized and can be used on ships. Haomei Aluminum, one of the big marine aluminum suppliers in China, likes to have a highlight of the popular marine aluminum alloys.

5083 aluminum plate is an aluminum alloy plate specially used for shipbuilding with medium and thick aluminum plates being the most commonly used. It is widely used for its good corrosion resistance, welding performance and mechanical properties. Its common tempers are H111, H112, H116, and H321, among which 5083-h116 aluminum plates are most widely used on ships.

In the shipbuilding industry, 5083 aluminum plates are widely used in hull structures, outfitting parts, decks, cabin bulkheads and other parts. Its excellent corrosion resistance and welding performance make ships have a long service life and low maintenance costs in seawater environments.

5059 aluminum alloy is the most advanced marine aluminum alloy. 5059 is an aluminum alloy with high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance. It has high strength, especially after heat treatment, it can obtain higher strength and hardness. Its application is not as extensive as 5083.

6061 aluminum is a widely used 6000 series aluminum alloy. It realizes an excellent balance between strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability. The main alloying elements in 6061 aluminum are magnesium and silicon, which form magnesium silicide, improving its mechanical properties. The alloy also has good weldability, making it suitable for projects that require machining and welding.

6082 is a heat-treated alloy that can maintain good operability after annealing. It is mainly used in mechanical structures, including bars, plates, pipes and profiles. It is a commonly used aluminum alloy material for domestic and foreign shipbuilding companies.

Heat treatment is an important part of the 6 series aluminum alloy processing process. It improves its mechanical properties by changing the microstructure of the material. The typical heat treatment process of 6 series aluminum alloy is T6 state treatment. 6082T6 state has higher mechanical properties. Welcome to learn more about al 6082 t6 properties.
