Introduction to the Application of Aluminum Alloy in Ships

2023-05-17

Aluminum has the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, good workability, etc., and has become the preferred lightweight material in shipbuilding industry, with broad prospects for development.
When it comes to marine aluminum plates, the most common one is 5083 aluminum plate. It is an aluminum magnesium alloy with low density, high toughness, high corrosion resistance, and weldability. It is mainly used on ship hulls, characterized by high strength, good corrosion resistance, excellent weldability, and good ductility, and can adapt well to harsh marine environments.

5083 aluminum plate used in ship manufacturing not only reduces the weight of the ship, but also increases the load, improves the safety and service life of the ship, and has economic benefits. With the reduction of ship weight, the operating speed of the ship can be improved, bringing higher economic benefits.
In addition to 5083 aluminum plates, there are also 5052 aluminum plates, 5086 aluminum plates, 5059 aluminum plates, 6061 aluminum plates, 6063 aluminum plates, etc. for marine aluminum plates.
6061 aluminum plate: with high bending strength and ductility, it is mainly used for cantilever, bridge and other parts.
7075 aluminum plate: Its strength and wear resistance are very high, mainly used for manufacturing some ship anchor chains.

5086 aluminum plate: It has good ductility and corrosion resistance, so it is commonly used in the manufacturing of ship bottom and stern plates.
In the field of shipbuilding, the application of aluminum alloy can reduce ship weight, improve speed, and overall performance of ships. Due to its obvious advantages, aluminum is gradually becoming the fundamental material for the transportation industry.
