The first thing to know is that marine grade aluminum sheet is used for shipbuilding. Previously, the raw materials for shipbuilding were made of steel. With the evolution of lightweight vehicles, ships are also developing towards lightweight. Aluminum alloy ships are light in weight, fast in speed, save fuel, and have low maintenance costs, which is one of the directions for ship construction in the future. With the development of the society, aluminum alloy ships, aluminum alloy fishing boats, and aluminum alloy small fishing boats made of aluminum plates have become increasingly popular in the market.
The main reason why marine grade aluminum sheets are used in shipbuilding is because of their corrosion resistance. For example, the 5083 aluminum plate of 5 series alloy. There is a thin and dense Al2O3 film on the surface of aluminum and aluminum alloy, referred to as oxide film. It protects aluminum and aluminum alloys from further corrosion, which is why aluminum and aluminum alloys have considerable corrosion resistance in the general atmosphere and tap water. Protect this layer of oxide film in the production of aluminum materials and the use of aluminum products. The common marine grade aluminum produced by henan mingtai aluminum is 5083 aluminum plate, 5086 aluminum plate, 5052 marine aluminum plate, tempers are h111, h112, h321, h116 and so on.
