In ship design, ribbed plate profiles are widely used in areas requiring high strength and resistance to deformation. By incorporating reinforcing ribs, the structural stiffness and load-bearing capacity are effectively enhanced, especially in parts like decks, bulkheads, and frames. The use of 6082-T6 aluminum alloy for ribbed plate profiles not only meets the ship's requirements for high strength and stiffness but also achieves lightweight, reducing the vessel's weight, improving fuel efficiency, and increasing the ship's speed.
6082 marine-grade aluminum alloy belongs to the Al-Mg-Si series, which is a heat-treatable, strengthened aluminum alloy. After T6 heat treatment (solution treatment + artificial aging), it has moderate to high strength, making it suitable for the mechanical requirements of ship structure design. Compared to 6061-T6, it has excellent corrosion resistance, maintaining stable performance in marine environments and extending the service life of the ship.
