5083 Aluminum Alloy for Yachts
Good mileage and wading performance of yachts are closely related to the use of aluminum alloy materials like 5083 aluminum. Aluminum is an advanced material for building ships and marine engineering structures. Based on the excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys, aluminum yachts have the advantages of fast speed, long service life, high load capacity, and low maintenance costs.
Aluminum alloy boats last much longer than fiberglass boats. Due to the short service life of fiberglass boats, it is impossible to judge whether the internal structure is damaged only from the appearance, and even some developed countries have age restrictions on the import of fiberglass boats, while aluminum alloy boats do not have such restrictions.
Aluminum alloy yachts can save maintenance costs. The aluminum alloy will oxidize to form a hard protective film. This characteristic makes the aluminum alloy boat have a certain degree of self-repair ability. General scratches will not cause great damage to the surface. The painting of the aluminum alloy hull is merely an aesthetic function.
The aluminum alloy hull is lighter and saves sailing costs. Under the same size and structural strength, the weight of an aluminum alloy boat is less than half that of a fiberglass boat. The lighter hull also makes the aluminum alloy boat more fuel-efficient with relatively excellent maneuverability and handling, while fiberglass boats are more stable.
Aluminum yachts are more environmentally friendly. Aluminum alloys have a high recovery rate, but glass fibers cannot be recycled, and must be disposed of by special personnel. In addition, aluminum alloy boats generally have less depreciation and do better in the second-hand market than fiberglass boats.
All of the above shows that the 5083 alloy has the incomparable advantages of the glass fiber on the yacht. Haomei marine grade aluminum 5083 has got the certification of DNV,ABS, LR,etc. Welcome to leave message below to tell us the specification you need.
