An aluminum fender is a type of protective device for ships, made from aluminum alloy materials. It is primarily installed on the sides or edges of the ship's deck. The fender effectively cushions the impact when a ship docks, preventing damage to the hull when it comes into contact with docks, other vessels, or obstacles during berthing, mooring, or docking. Aluminum fenders have a wide range of applications and are suitable for various types of ships, including passenger ships, cargo ships, tankers, etc. They are generally made from high-strength steel plates and aluminum alloy plates to ensure sufficient strength and durability.

Aluminum fenders are typically composed of multiple aluminum alloy plates, which are fixed to the ship's body through welding, bolting, or other means. The interior may be filled with elastic materials (such as rubber or polyurethane) to enhance energy absorption.

The alloy grades commonly used for aluminum fenders include 5052 aluminum alloy, 7075 aluminum alloy, and 6061 aluminum alloy.

Advantages

Advantages of Aluminum Alloy Fenders:

Lightweight and Durable: Aluminum alloy material is lighter in weight than traditional steel fenders and has excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for marine environments.

Easy Installation and Maintenance: Due to the lightweight nature of aluminum fenders, they are easier to install and replace, reducing maintenance costs.

Strong Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum fenders perform well in marine environments, resisting saltwater corrosion and extending their service life.

Attractive Appearance: Aluminum alloys have a good appearance and can be painted or treated as needed, making them more decorative.

Application

Application of Aluminum Alloy Fenders:

Aluminum alloy fenders are widely used on various types of ships, including cargo ships, passenger ships, yachts, etc. They are particularly common on high-speed ships and yachts that require both high speed and high protection.
