5052 5083 Aluminum Plate for Fishing Boat Singapore

The marine grade aluminum sheet is the material of choice for high-speed vessels such as fast ferries, hydrofoils, fishing boats, work boats, and high-speed car ferries. From the perspective of environmental protection, ships in lakes, inland rivers and other waters are currently facing increasing environmental pressure due to diesel leakage.

The development trend of ship power is that electric power will gradually replace diesel power. Therefore, the demand for lightweight ships in lakes, inland rivers and other waters will gradually rise.

Aluminum alloy 5052 is one of the 5xxx series aluminum alloys with a Mg content of 2.2%-2.8%. It has the characteristics of light weight, medium strength, good corrosion resistance and weldability, and easy processing and forming. Among its mechanical properties, the tensile strength can reach 215-265Mpa.

Although 5052 alloy is easier to process and form, 5083 aluminum sheet can provide approximately 1.5 times the tensile and yield strength. This means that when other conditions such as thickness are the same, a boat made of 5083 aluminum alloy can withstand more impact without breaking or deforming than a boat made of fiberglass, steel plate, or 5052 aluminum alloy. 5083 aluminum alloy also has very good welding properties.

The content of Mg and Mn in the 5083-h116 aluminum plate is controlled at a medium and upper limit, which can ensure that the strength properties of the material meet the requirements. At this time, the plasticity and corrosion resistance of the material are also good.

Cr plays a supplementary strengthening role in 5083 alloy, which can increase the recrystallization temperature and Ti refines the casting structure. Special attention should be paid to controlling the content of impurities Fe and Si. When the Fe content is high, the plasticity and corrosion resistance of the alloy are reduced; compared with Fe, Si has a greater negative impact on plasticity. The mass fractions of Fe and Si should be controlled below 0.25% respectively.

Haomei Aluminum has a "1+1 hot rolling production line" dedicated to ultra-wide and ultra-thick aluminum plates, as well as an ultra-wide 2650mm German SMS six-roller cold rolling mill. Our 5052 and 5083 aluminum sheets have obtained DNV and CCS certification.
