Marine aluminum sheets are characterized by corrosion resistance, high toughness, and not easy to deform after processing. There are 5052, 5083, 5086, etc. The most common ones are 5 series aluminum sheets and 6 series aluminum sheets. 5 series aluminum sheets are the most common marine aluminum sheets. So what are the 6 series marine aluminum sheets?
The main component of 6 series aluminum sheets is aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy. 6 series aluminum sheets have high strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and processing performance. They are suitable for use in marine environments, so they are very popular in marine and offshore structure applications. Common 6 series aluminum sheet models include 6061, 6063, 6082, etc.
Introduction to 6xxx aluminum sheet alloys
6061 marine aluminum alloy: has good weldability, processability and high strength. It is often used in load-bearing parts such as hull structures and decks;
6063 marine aluminum sheet: has good formability and surface quality, and is more used for marine decorative parts and non-load-bearing parts.
6082 ship sheet: has medium strength and good welding performance and corrosion resistance. It is an ideal material for manufacturing high-speed ship parts.
6 series marine aluminum sheet features
1. Strong corrosion resistance: contains magnesium and silicon, which can effectively prevent seawater and moisture erosion.
2. High strength and hardness: 6061 aluminum sheet has improved strength after heat treatment and is suitable for load-bearing parts such as hulls and decks.
3. Excellent weldability: easy welding, small deformation, not easy to crack, widely used in ship construction.
4. Good formability and processability: can be processed into various shapes, suitable for manufacturing complex marine parts.
5. Light weight: low density, reduce the total weight of the hull, increase speed and fuel efficiency.
6. Anodized: can improve surface hardness and corrosion resistance, and improve appearance.
