Marine Aluminum Extrusion and Sheet for Making Yachts
The most important goal in aluminum alloy yacht manufacturing is to achieve the design speed. In order to achieve the above goals, under the same hull line shape and the same main engine power, the lighter weight of the empty ship means the faster the ship's speed and the lower the fuel consumption. The density of aluminum alloy is only 1/3 of steel, which can greatly the weight of the ships.This feature makes aluminum alloys very suitable as materials for building high-speed boats.
In addition to strictly controlling the weight of shipbuilding materials during construction, aluminum alloy ships use interrupted welding as much as possible in the welding design, which can not only control welding deformation, but also reduce the weight of the empty ship.
Good sailing mileage and water wading performance are closely related to its use of marine aluminum sheet and marine aluminum extrusions. Aluminum is an advanced material for building ships and marine engineering structural parts. Based on the excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys, ships made of aluminum alloys have the advantages of fast speed, long service life, high load capacity, and low maintenance costs.
The common alloys of marine aluminum extrusions are 6061, 6063 and 6082. These types of aluminum profiles have the characteristics of high strength, corrosion resistance, good processability, and strong plasticity, and are widely used in various fields.
Among them, 6061 aluminum is a commonly used aluminum alloy with excellent strength and processability, and is suitable for high-strength applications such as manufacturing aircraft, auto parts, and ships.
6063 aluminum has good corrosion resistance and plasticity, and is often used in fields such as construction and interior decoration. 6082 aluminum profile has high strength and good welding performance, and is suitable for manufacturing high-speed trains, auto parts, aircraft and other fields.
Marine 5086 sheet is an aluminum-magnesium alloy, mainly magnesium alloy. It is strengthened not by heat treatment, but by strain hardening or cold working of the material. Heat treatment does not significantly affect strength, so 5086 is easily weldable and retains much of its mechanical strength. Good welding results and excellent corrosion properties in seawater make 5086 alloy an ideal choice for making yachts.
