In the field of shipbuilding and marine engineering, material selection is crucial. Due to their excellent corrosion resistance and high strength, 5059 and 5086 aluminum alloys have become the preferred marine-grade aluminum materials. Among them, 5059 and 5086 marine-grade aluminum rods are widely used in ship structures, offshore platforms, and other equipment exposed to marine environments for extended periods.

MC Aluminum Industry strictly controls the quality of marine aluminum rods, and they have been certified by classification societies such as CCS, DNV, NK, CCS, ABS, BV, LR, and KR.

Introduction to Marine-Grade Alloys

5059 Marine Aluminum Alloy:

5059 mariner aluminum is a new generation of marine engineering wrought aluminum alloy, which comprehensively outperforms the traditional 5083 alloy.

It is used for manufacturing passenger cruise ships, various vessels, and large LNG (liquefied natural gas) storage tanks of 300kt, as well as land-based storage tanks.

5086 Marine Aluminum Alloy:

5086 aluminum alloy is also a commonly used marine-grade aluminum alloy, with magnesium as the main alloying element. It belongs to the rust-proof aluminum alloy category and exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and strength in marine environments.

It is widely used in ship structures, including hulls, decks, and superstructures.
