What is marine grade aluminium

Marine grade aluminium usually use aluminum magnesium alloy, aluminum magnesium silicon alloy and aluminum zinc magnesium alloy. The most common are aluminum magnesium alloys and aluminum zinc magnesium alloys which are conducive to welding. The strength of aluminum magnesium silicon alloy and aluminum magnesium silicon alloy is significantly lower than that of aluminum magnesium alloy and aluminum zinc magnesium alloy, and the corrosion resistance of aluminum zinc magnesium alloy after welding is also low, which greatly limits the use of these two aluminum alloys. However, aluminum zinc magnesium alloy and aluminum magnesium silicon alloy have good applications in other aspects. Aluminum zinc magnesium alloy can be used for heat treatable parts after welding, while aluminum magnesium silicon alloy is mainly used for profile manufacturing. The working conditions of ships are relatively special. Ship materials often need to have good strength, impact resistance and corrosion resistance. Marine grade aluminium is mainly medium strength aluminum alloy, which not only has corrosion resistance and certain strength, but also has excellent weldability.. Marine grade aluminum alloys can be divided into aluminum alloys for hull structure and aluminum alloys for upper outfitting.The hull structure includes: the side, bottom shell, keel, ribs, and adjacent walls, etc. The aluminum alloy for the upper layer of the hull includes: wheelhouse, bulwark, chimney, porthole, mast, etc. Usually we use Al-Mg series alloy as the material of the hull structure. For example, 5086 marine grade aluminum plate, 5454 marine grade aluminum plate, 5052 marine grade aluminum plate, etc. are used for the main deck and bottom plate, and the hull structure often uses 5086 H112 marine grade aluminum profiles and Al-Mg-Si series aluminum alloy profiles. In the upper outfitting structure, 6063 marine grade aluminum profiles are used for portholes, 6061, 6063 aluminum alloy profiles and bars are often used for gangways and masts, and 5086,5083,5052 marine grade alloys are often used for marine grade aluminum tread plate. The integral wall plate extruded by Al-Mg alloy can reduce welding deformation and make the stress distribution more reasonable. In addition, most of the Marine grade aluminum fittings such as Aluminum elbows, Aluminum pipe cap, Aluminum coupling, Aluminum cross, Aluminum flange, Aluminum Welding Backing Tape, Aluminum steel bimetal, etc. also use 5 series Al-Mg alloy or 6 series Al-Mg -Si aluminum alloy. The working environment of ships requires that the structural materials of the hull have certain properties such as mechanical strength, fatigue strength, elongation and impact resistance. However, it is usually difficult for high-strength aluminum alloys to have both excellent corrosion resistance and weldability at the same time. Therefore, Marine grade aluminum alloys generally use medium-strength corrosion-resistant weldable aluminum alloys.

what is the best marine grade aluminum

There is no best marine grade aluminum, but only the most suitable marine grade aluminum. Aluminum alloys of different specifications are used at different positions of the ship according to the requirements of the ship's navigation area and hull structure specifications. As long as the specifications and strength meet the requirements of the ship inspection specifications, they are the best marine aluminum for speedboats. Of course, some marine grade aluminum alloys are widely used,such as:

marine grade aluminum 5052

Compared with marine grade aluminum 5083 , the strength of marine grade aluminum 5052 is lower. In the process of shipbuilding, it is mostly used for small ships and ship structural parts, such as: cable tray on ships, porthole, Gangway, mast, etc.;
