5086 aluminum sheet
Marine Grade aluminum Sheet Plate has exceptional thermal
conductivity and higher strength.
Marine Grade aluminum alloy plate is highly resistant to attack by
seawater and industrial chemicals and is very suitable for welding.
In the Marine industry, marine grade aluminum sheet plate is the
primary materials for boat hulls and cargo tanks.
Because of Excellent corrosion-resistance and weldability, together
with high strength, marine grade aluminum alloy plate sheet was
designed for welded structures requiring maximum joint strength and
efficiency. Marine Grade aluminum metal is rated good for forming
and weldability, and sufficient for conventional machining
applications
Marine Grade aluminum plate sheet available
5052 is remarkably resistant to seawater corrosion. Its medium to high
strength alloy make-up allow for good cold formability and
exceptional weldability. Magnesium is the major alloying element
for 5052. In the marine industry, it is the primary material for
boat hulls and cargo tanks.
5083
Of all non-heat treatable alloys, this has the highest strength.
5083 is resistant to stress, cracking and exfoliation attack under
in marine corrosive conditions. It has a low density and excellent
thermal conductivity. It is used across many industries, but
primarily shipbuilding.
5086
This alloy shows great results when welded, retaining most of its
strength. This factor, along with its corrosion resistance in
seawater make it a very popular material choice for the marine
industry. 5086 is used extensively for hulls and vessel gangways.
5456
Alloy 5456 is used as a standard application in welded deck house
construction of destroyers. It is a preferred material because of
the 40-45% weight reduction with no loss of stability. It can be
hot worked and has good strength.
6061
This alloy has good weldability and valuable mechanical properties.
It is used most often because of these qualities and its strength
and workability. It is used most often in deck-house structures,
small boats, and bulk-heads.
