ABS Certificate Aluminum Alloy Sheet for boat

Since 1891, aluminum alloys have been used in the shipbuilding industry for nearly a hundred years. Due to its low density, high strength and strong corrosion resistance, aluminum is very suitable for the harsh environment of the ocean. Aluminum is cheaper to process, making it more economical to build ships out of aluminum.

5052 aluminum alloy sheet is one of the representatives of the 5000 aluminum alloys. It has good tensile strength, fatigue strength and excellent corrosion resistance, especially high resistance to salt spray corrosion in marine environments. In addition to being used in ship hulls, 5052 aluminum plates can also be used in cable trays, ship sinks, cabin floors, etc.

Luxury yachts at sea are generally made of high magnesium alloy 5083H116 or 5083H321 aluminum plates. When the thickness and other conditions are the same, a boat made of 5083 aluminum alloy as the main material can withstand an impact better than fiberglass, steel plate, or 5052 aluminum alloy-based boats can withstand greater pressure without cracking or deformation.

5086 aluminum is an aluminum-magnesium alloy, mainly magnesium alloy. It is strengthened not by heat treatment, but by strain hardening or cold working of the material. 5086 aluminum plate is the recommended hull material for small aluminum boats and large yachts. Its high strength and excellent corrosion resistance make it ideal for yachts.
