As one of the important fishing equipment, fishing boats play a key role in the development of fisheries. The selection of aluminum used in fishing boat manufacturing is crucial because it is directly related to the performance, durability and safety of the hull. The ideal material should have high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, light weight and good processing and welding properties to adapt to the harsh conditions of the marine environment.
The following will introduce several aluminum materials that are most suitable for fishing boat manufacturing and their characteristics:
Marine aluminum plates are generally based on aluminum alloy plates of 5083 aluminum plates, 5052 aluminum plates, 6061 aluminum plates and 6063B aluminum plates, especially for ship decks and hulls, mainly some wide plates, so the production requirements of marine aluminum plates are more stringent than other products.
Aluminum alloy models for fishing boats
1.5052 aluminum plate:
Features:
(1) Good corrosion resistance, especially for seawater and salt spray environments.
(2) Excellent welding performance and formability.
(3) Medium strength.
Applicable scenarios:
Hull and structural parts of small or medium-sized fishing boats.
2.5083 marine aluminum alloy
Features:
(1) Extremely high corrosion resistance, especially suitable for marine environment.
(2) High strength and excellent fatigue resistance.
(3) Good welding performance.
Applicable scenarios:
Medium and large fishing boats and structural parts that need to bear high loads.
3. 6061 aluminum alloy
Features:
(1) High strength and good fatigue resistance.
(2) Excellent processability, can be anodized.
(3) Corrosion resistance is slightly inferior to 5052 and 5083, special attention should be paid to anti-corrosion treatment.
Applicable scenarios:
Masts, handrails, frames and other parts of fishing boats that require strength and rigidity.
4.6063 marine aluminum alloy
Features:
(1) Designed for marine environment, with good corrosion resistance and processability.
(2) Strength is slightly lower than 6061, but easier to process.
Applicable scenarios:
For non-load-bearing parts or decorative parts.
Advantages of aluminum alloy fishing boats
1. Durability: Aluminum is rust-resistant and corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for harsh marine environments.
2. Lightweight: The lightweight nature of aluminum makes transportation easier and more fuel-efficient.
3. Versatility: These boats can be customized for different fishing styles, from bass fishing to offshore excursions.
4. Affordable: Aluminum fishing boats are generally less expensive than fiberglass boats, making them suitable for a wider audience.
Why choose MC Aluminum?
1. Smooth surface: The surface of the aluminum plate should be smooth without obvious waves, warping or deformation.
2. Oxidation spots: Check the surface of the aluminum plate for excessive oxidation spots, which may affect the corrosion resistance of the aluminum plate.
3. Cracks and inclusions: There should be no cracks, bubbles or inclusions on the surface of the aluminum plate, which will reduce the strength and corrosion resistance of the aluminum plate.
4. The thickness deviation is controlled within the range of ±0.1 mm or more stringent.
