5456 5086 Aluminum Alloy Sheet in Shipbuilding

Because aluminum alloy is light, corrosion-resistant and strong, its use in ship hull structures can significantly reduce the weight of the ship, lower the center of gravity and increase the load. And with the advancement of aluminum alloy metallurgical processes and welding methods, it has become the mainstream of advanced marine materials. Aluminum alloys suitable for use in ship structures include 5086, 5083, 5383, 5059, 5456 aluminum plate,etc.

In order to continuously improve the comprehensive performance of 5 series marine aluminum alloys, Europe, the United States and other countries have developed a variety of states such as H116, H321, H323, etc. through deformation heat treatment processes based on traditional alloys such as 5456, 5083, and 5086; on the other hand, they have continuously developed new 5 series aluminum alloys by optimizing alloy composition, such as 5383 registered in 1995 and 5059 aluminum alloy registered in 1999.

5456 Al-Mg alloy is an alloy in the wrought aluminum-magnesium series. It is closely related to 5356 aluminum alloy, but like most other aluminum-magnesium alloys it is used in structural applications and is weldable. It can be formed by rolling, extrusion, and forging (although forging is uncommon), but not cast. Cold working increases its strength but reduces ductility.

In the superstructure of the "Dewey", most of the 811.30t aluminum alloy is 5456 alloy thick plate and 5086 alloy thin plate. 5086 is an aluminum-magnesium alloy. It is not strengthened by heat treatment, but by strain hardening or cold working of the material.

5086 aluminum plate has high corrosion resistance, good weldability, and medium strength. It is widely used in the manufacture of sheet metal parts for transportation vehicles and ships, instruments, hardware products, and electrical housings. Compared with other aluminum plate products, the corrosion resistance of 5086 aluminum plate is an important reason for its wide application.

Aluminum alloy 5086 is a best-selling aluminum, which is widely used in the manufacture of hulls, decks, etc. Similarly, 5086 patterned aluminum plate with surface embossing treatment is also the best material for spiral stairs, pedals, refrigerated truck sidings and floors on large ships.
