Nowadays, in the shipbuilding industry, especially in the construction of high-speed ships, in order to achieve light weight and increase the speed of ships, aluminum alloy structures with low density will be used. 5083 aluminum plate has high strength and strong corrosion resistance, which is very suitable for application in marine environment.

5083 aluminum plate is the main alloy of marine aluminum plate and the main aluminum material for ship manufacturing. Because ships sail in seawater or inland rivers all the year round, the requirements for anti-corrosion and other rust prevention are high. The underwater part of the hull, especially in the perennial seawater contact, must be able to resist the corrosion of seawater and be durable for a long time. The most commonly used products for this part of the product are 5083H116 aluminum plate and 5083H321 aluminum plate. The ship plates in these two states have the best corrosion resistance.

What are the advantages of 5083-h116 aluminum plate used in ships?

1.Excellent welding performance

In shipbuilding, the performance lost due to welding cannot be recovered by re-heat treatment, but the 5083 aluminum plate has good welding crack resistance, and the joint performance after welding is not much different, which is very conducive to shipbuilding welding.

2.Good corrosion resistance

After the 5083 aluminum plate is exposed to air, a dense oxide film can be formed on the surface, which can well resist the erosion of various elements in seawater. In addition, using anodizing technology, it can be well maintained in a stable state in seawater.

3.Good cold and hot forming performance

The ship needs to be processed by cold working and hot working during the construction process, so it is required that the marine aluminum alloy can be easily processed and formed, and crack defects cannot be generated during processing. The 5083 aluminum plate can well meet the performance requirements of the marine aluminum plate.

4.Light in mass

Effectively reduce the weight of the light hull, save the fuel and energy consumption of the ship itself, and increase its carrying capacity.
