Marine Aluminum Sheet and Extrusion
At present, aluminum alloys are mainly used in small, lightweight, high-speed boats and other ship types, such as catamarans, high-speed patrol boats, military auxiliary ships, official ships, etc. The commonly used marine grade aluminum alloys are 5xxx and 6xxx aluminum alloys like 5052, 5083, 6061, 60582,etc.
Non-stressed components or components with low stress, such as various habitats, fuel tanks, water tanks, storage cabinets, aluminum watertight doors, windows, covers, sanitary facilities, pipes, ventilation, windshields, brackets, streamlined,etc., are mostly made of 6063, 6082 or 6061.
6082 aluminum alloy tube is a heat-treatable strengthenable product. It is a 6-series aluminum alloy profile with good formability, weldability, and machinability. It also has moderate strength. After annealing, the metal material can still maintain better operability. It is precisely based on its own significant advantages that 6082 aluminum tubes are widely used in mechanical structures.
Aluminum alloy yachts for freshwater lakes are mostly made of 5052-H32 or 5052-0 aluminum plates, while luxury yachts at sea are generally made of high-magnesium alloy 5083H116 or 5083H321 aluminum plates. They undergo special processing techniques and have good corrosion resistance.
The marine aluminum sheet is immersed in water all year round and has high requirements for corrosion resistance. 5052 aluminum plates are Al-Mg alloys with excellent corrosion resistance and medium strength. They are suitable for the manufacture of economical aluminum alloy ships. In addition to being used in the ship hull, 5052 aluminum plates can also be used in cable trays, ship sinks, cabin floors, etc.
Compared with 1000 pure aluminum plates, the tensile strength of 5052 is 210-230, and the hardness is 100% higher than that of 1060 aluminum plate. At the same time, the elongation is also increased by 12-20%. Due to the effect of alloy elements, 5052 aluminum plate has better corrosion resistance.
