5xxx Aluminum Sheet for Shipbuilding

As a shipbuilding material, aluminum alloy is of small specific gravity, good low-temperature performance and elastic modulus, and is corrosion-resistant, weldable, easy to process, non-magnetic. 5xxx aluminum alloy is well known for being used as marine grade aluminum sheets.

Marine grade aluminum 5086, 5083, 5456 and 5052 can be used for the outer plate or side plate of the ships for the have excellent corrosion resistance, which can better resist the erosion of seawater and prolong the life of the ship.

The roof and side plates of marine vessels can be made of 3003 aluminum plate, 3004 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum plate. 3003 aluminum plate has a superior anti-rust effect. 5083 aluminum sheet and 5052 aluminum plate is often used to manufacture the wheelhouse. What are the advantages of 5xxx aluminum?

1. Aluminum alloys is of low density, reducing ship weight and fuel consumption, improving the length-to-width ratio of the ship and increasing the load capacity and obtaining additional profits.

2. It is of excellent anti-corrosion performance, reducing maintenance costs such as oiling.

3. With the good processing and forming performance, 5xxx aluminum alloy is easy to perform various forms of processing such as cutting, stamping, cold bending, forming and cutting, which is suitable for streamlining the hull.

4. It is of good welding performance, which is easier to weld.

5. The all-aluminum boat can avoid mine attack and is suitable for thunder sweeping.

6. There are no pests and dry deformation.

Haomei Aluminum has all the main grades of 5xxx aluminum like aluminium grade 5052, 5083, 5086,etc. Welcome to leave message below to inquire what you need.
