Advantages of Aluminum Ship

5083 aluminum plate is a commonly used type of marine aluminum plate, which belongs to aluminum-magnesium alloy and typical anti-rust aluminum plate with high strength, corrosion resistance and excellent processability. it can be used in ship side, keel, deck and other parts. 5083 aluminum plate has stable performance, good corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environment such as sea water.

The application advantages of aluminum alloy in ships:
Aluminum alloy has the following advantages when used in ships because of its low specific gravity and elastic modulus, corrosion resistance, weldability, easy processing, non-magnetism and good low temperature performance.
(1) because of its small specific gravity, the weight of the ship can be reduced, the capacity of the engine can be reduced, the speed can be increased, the fuel consumption can be reduced, the fuel can be saved, the aspect ratio of the ship can be improved, the stability can be increased, and the ship can be easily maneuvered. it can also increase the deadweight and obtain additional profits.
(2) due to its good corrosion resistance, it can reduce the maintenance cost such as painting oil, and prolong the service life (usually more than 20 years).
(3) good formability, easy to carry out various forms of machining, such as cutting, stamping, cold bending, forming and cutting, which is suitable for the streamlining of the hull; large wide and thin-walled profiles can be extruded to reduce the number of welds and rationalize and lighten the hull structure.

(4) the welding performance is good, and it can be welded easily.
(5) the elastic modulus is small, the ability to absorb impact stress is large, and it has great safety.
(6) Aluminum waste is easy to recycle and can be recycled.
(7) No low temperature brittleness, so it is most suitable for cryogenic equipment.
(8) because the compass is non-magnetic, the compass is not affected; all-aluminum ships can avoid mine attacks and are suitable for minesweeper.
(9) No insect pests and dry deformation; do not burn, it is safer in case of fire.
