Marine aluminum alloy according to the different manufacturing process can be divided into deformation of aluminum and cast aluminum alloy, due to marine aluminum alloy on the strength, corrosion resistance, weldability and other special requirements, so the choice of marine aluminum alloy aluminum - magnesium alloy , Aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy and aluminum-zinc-magnesium alloy, of which 5 series of aluminum - magnesium alloy on the most widely used in ships, then, 5 series of marine aluminum alloy What are the characteristics of it?
5 series of marine aluminum alloy mainly are 5083,5086,5454. 6 series aluminum alloy in the seawater will occur the intergranular corrosion, so the ship superstructure use more. 7 series alloy shortcomings is poor corrosion resistance, so the use of limited. On the whole, 5 series of marine aluminum is currently the most widely used, the most promising aluminum products.
5083 aluminum alloy can be regarded as representative products of 5 series marine aluminum plate. The temper are O, H111, H112, H116, H321 and so on. The composition of 5083 aluminum alloy is aluminum aluminum: balance, silicon Si: ≤0.40, copper Cu: ≤0.10 , Magnesium Mg: 4.0 to 4.9, zinc Zn: ≤0.25 Mn Mn: 0.40 to 1.0 Titanium Ti: ≤ 0.15 Cr Cr: 0.05 to 0.25 Fe Fe: 0 to 0.400, 5083 Aluminum alloy has moderate strength, good corrosion resistance and good formability , High resistance to fatigue, generally used as the main structure of the hull. Others such as 5052,5086,5454,5456, etc., are also used in hull structures or pressure vessels, pipes, hulls and decks.
In general, the thickness of the use of the plate is determined by the hull structure, the ship's specifications and the use of parts, etc., from the perspective of the weight of the hull, the general use of sheet metal, but also should be considered in the use of time the depth of corrosion of the plate, Plate has more than 1.6mm sheet and above 30mm the plate. There are also some special specifications for the use of shipyard contracts. For non-slip, deck with pattern plate.
From the development of marine aluminum, at present, many domestic aluminum manufacturers have begun to focus on research and development 5 series, 6 series of marine aluminum, increase scientific research, expand production scale, into the marine aluminum and other high-end manufacturing market. To the national aluminum processing enterprises - Haomei Aluminum, for example, its 5083,5086,5454 and other aluminum by 2015 China Classification Society certification, in October and passed the Norwegian Classification Society certification, made foreign trade aluminum "world License ", which will be the company's marine aluminum market to open up a broader space for development, but also for the domestic shipboard enterprises to upgrade and play a positive role model.
