Why Is Aluminum Marine Grade 5083 Used for Shipbuilding
Aluminum alloys have been used in the shipbuilding industry for nearly a hundred years. With the rapid development of the shipbuilding industry at home and abroad, the lightweight of ships has been paid more and more attention. Due to the low density, high strength, high rigidity and corrosion resistance of aluminum, ships built with aluminum are 15-20% lighter than ships built with steel or other synthetic materials.
Machining 5083 aluminum is an aluminum-magnesium alloy, a typical anti-rust aluminum plate. Its corrosion resistance, workability, strength, etc. meet the processing requirements of marine aluminum plate. The common tempers are H116 and H321. It is mainly used in the deck, engine pedestal, ship side, bottom outer plate and other components of ships such as yachts, grain ships, fishing boats, work boats, and sand ships.
Marine grade aluminium 5083 is mainly used in ship manufacturing because of its alloy properties. It has good corrosion resistance, excellent weldability, good cold workability, and medium strength. In addition, it has high fatigue resistance and is generally used as the main structure of the hull.
The bending effect of 5083 aluminum plate depends on the state. In the state of high hardness, it is easy to break when bending. H18 temper is not suitable for bending. The suitable bending states are: O state, H111, H112, H114, H24, H32, h34, etc.
5083 aluminum price is divided into two parts, aluminum ingot price plus processing fee. Due to its complex processing technology, high technical and equipment requirements , so the price of 5083-H116 aluminum plate is generally relatively high.
