China 5086 Aluminum for Shipbuilding

Aluminum alloy has been used in shipbuilding industry for more than one hundred years. Especially in recent years, aluminum alloy has been used in various types of ships. At present, more than 100 companies in Japan are building aluminum alloy high-speed ships, passenger ships, and fishing boats. The total number of aluminum alloy ships has exceeded 2,500.

The United States has more than 2,000 various ships built of aluminum alloy. There are about 1,000 aluminum alloy passenger ships and scientific research ships built in Northern Europe, France, Australia and other countries.

The serialization of aluminum alloy composition has reached a high level at home and abroad, and the available alloys have reached the serialization. There are also several types of the same alloy available for selection, with matching varieties and complete specifications.

In particular, a large number of profiles and wall panels adapted to the structural characteristics of the ship are used, which greatly reduces the welding workload while ensuring the quality of the ship's construction.

From 1966 to 1971, the United States built the first batch of 14 "Acivil"-class high-speed gunboats. The main deck and bottom of the ship were made of 12.7mm thick China 5086 aluminum. All were welded by argon arc welding.

The connection method of TIG and MIG welding is adopted. It is helpful for preventing rivets from loosening and water seepage, solving contact corrosion problems, increasing connection strength by 10% to 20%, and reducing weight by 20% to 30%.

In 1970, Japan built a large aluminum alloy ship "Shihoku".The main body of the hull is made of A5083 aluminum alloy, and the outer plates, decks and bulkheads are A5083-H32 aluminum sheet. The construction of this ship indicates that the aluminum alloy ship is becoming more and more large-scale and high-speed.

Haomei Aluminum has a series of aluminum alloys including 5083 and 5086 aluminum sheets. Welcome to leave message below to get the aluminum plate 5086 pricelist.
