What Is 5052 Aluminum Sheet Thickness for Shipbuilding

Al-Mg anti-rust aluminum alloy is widely used in the hull structure of small ships and the superstructure of large ships due to its good corrosion resistance. 5052 aluminum sheet is AL-Mg alloy aluminum plate, magnesium is the main alloy in 5052 aluminum bending. It has high strength, especially anti-fatigue strength.

5 series aluminum alloy is widely used in the field of marine engineering because of its excellent corrosion resistance. In shipbuilding, the shell structure uses 5083 and 5086 aluminum alloys, and 5052 and 5454 aluminum alloys are used to make ship decks and upper outfitting panels.

The yachts are also divided into many different types, and are generally divided into freshwater lake yachts and seawater yachts. Yachts made of aluminum alloy can just meet the needs of these two kinds, and promote the lightweight of yachts.

Small yachts in freshwater lakes are generally made of 5052H32 aluminum plate or 5052 0-state aluminum plate. Because they are exposed to fresh water, the corrosion is not as strong as seawater, so 5052 aluminum alloy is used to make them.

5052 aluminum sheet thickness for shipbuilding is determined by the hull structure, ship specifications, and used parts, etc. From the perspective of reducing the weight of the hull, a ship should use thin plates as much as possible, but the corrosion depth of the plates within the service time should also be considered.

The commonly used aluminum sheet thickness is thin plates over 1.6mm and thick plates over 30mm. In order to reduce the welding seam, aluminum plates with a width of 2.0m are often used, and large ships use aluminum plates with a width of 2.5m. The length is generally 6m. Other special specifications are also used according to the contract of the shipyard.

Haomei marine grade aluminum 5052 has been certified by China Classification Society (CCS), Det Norske Veritas (DNV), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Bureau Veritas (BV) and British Company (LR), which has successfully entered the world shipbuilding market, and is loved by the Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian and North American shipbuilding markets.
