Application field of marine aluminum alloy

Aluminum alloys have been used in shipbuilding for centuries. With the rapid development of shipbuilding industry at home and abroad, the lightweight of ships has been paid more and more attention. Aluminum has become the first choice of ship designers due to its low density, high strength, good rigidity and corrosion resistance. Ships built using aluminum alloys can save 15-20% in weight compared to ships built using steel or other synthetic materials. The high toughness, corrosion resistance and weldability of aluminum alloys make them an excellent choice for marine designs with stringent weight requirements. In addition, aluminum is less expensive to process, making it more economical to manufacture ships. Aluminum alloys can be used as sheet material or processed by extrusion and casting methods. Aluminum alloys, combined with their excellent physical properties, offer a very cost-effective solution for the shipbuilding industry. From a ship designer's point of view, ships built with aluminum alloys can achieve higher speeds and longer lifespans. The rapid development of aluminum alloys in the shipbuilding industry benefits from its many advantages.

The construction and working environment of the ship require that the material should have good corrosion resistance, weldability, plasticity and certain tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, impact resistance and other properties. Marine aluminum alloy plates are mainly used in 5 series, 6 series and 7 series alloys.
