The Use of Marine Grade 5086 Aluminum Plate in Shipbuilding

The shipbuilding materials play a key role in the quality and performance of a ship, so it is important to consider both corrosion resistance and strength. 5086 aluminum sheet can effectively resist the corrosion of the atmosphere, sea water and rain, and also have good impact resistance and pressure resistance to protect ships and reduce external impact damage to ships.

What are the 5086 aluminum properties? Its common tempers are O, H111, H112, H116, H321, etc. In terms of mechanical properties, the tensile strength (MPa) of 5086 aluminum sheet is over 240, conditional yield strength is over 95 Mpa and elongation is over 10.

It features light weight and high strength, so it can improve the portability of the ship. Under the same circumstances, the speed of the ship is higher, the fuel consumption is reduced, and the overall stability of the ship is increased. In addition, the ship is relatively light, which is also conducive to the to the operation of the control room, thereby increasing the ship's load capacity, providing more loading space and increasing profit.

Besides the strong corrosion resistance and light weight, it also has high formability and easy welding. In view of the influence of ships on water resistance during ocean navigation, special attention needs to be paid to the streamlining of ships, and the easy processing of aluminum alloy is just enough to meet the need.

The ship itself requires a variety of different types of raw materials. Aluminum alloys are easier to weld, and can also reduce the number of welds to improve safety. The influence of wind and waves has always been a difficult point during ship navigation, and the small elastic modulus of aluminum alloy can reduce the impact force, making the sailing resistance smaller and sailing safer.

A lot of leftovers are also produced during shipbuilding. Aluminum is easier to recycle, so it is greener and more environmentally friendly. It will not produce pests. Compared with the original use of wood, wood is more susceptible to moisture, causing insect pests.

Generally speaking, different ships may be suitable for different types of aluminum materials. Among them, Al-Mg aluminum alloys are is considered to be the most suitable material in shipbuilding after a lot of practices. 5086 aluminum plate can be used as a raw material for high-speed boats.
