Aluminum alloys used in warships and boats can be divided into wrought aluminum alloys and cast aluminum alloys according to the processing technology.

Wrought aluminum alloys are generally produced by forging or hot rolling and have good mechanical properties. Wrought aluminum alloys are widely used in shipbuilding.

In the process of lightweighting ships, aluminum alloys are gradually replacing other metal materials such as steel.

Xienuo's marine aluminum alloys include: 5A01/5A05/5A06/5083/5086/5454/5052/5754/6061, etc.

Characteristics, uses and chemical composition of marine aluminum alloys

Aluminum alloys for ships can be divided into aluminum alloys for hull structures and aluminum alloys for outfitting according to their uses. The aluminum alloys used in ship hull structures are mainly alloys such as 5052, 5083, 5086, 5454, 5456 and 6061.

The 5000 series alloy has good corrosion resistance and high strength. It is currently the most widely used alloy among marine aluminum.

marine grade aluminum plate

Since 6000 series alloys will undergo intergranular corrosion in seawater, they are mainly used in the superstructure of ships. Extruded profiles are mainly used for outfitting aluminum alloys.

The strength and process performance of 7000 series alloys after heat treatment are even better than those of 5000 series alloys. They are mainly used in ship superstructures, such as extruded structures, armor plates, etc. However, the disadvantage of 7000 alloys is poor stress corrosion resistance, which limits its use.

Types and uses of marine aluminum

Marine aluminum can be divided into plates, profiles, tubes, rods, forgings, and castings according to product types. The company's current aluminum alloy product categories are mainly plates and strips.

The temper of marine grade aluminum

The temper of aluminum alloy indicates the material's processing method, internal structure and mechanical properties. Generally, engineers use materials in different states according to different uses. 5000 series alloys used in ship hull structures adopt O and H states, and 6000 series alloys adopt T state.

H temper code of 5000 series alloy for hull structure

H111: After annealing, cold working (rolling or straightening)

H112: Extruded state or original state after hot rolling, but there are requirements for the mechanical properties of the material, and mechanical property experiments are required.

H116: Cold working and low temperature annealing to improve the material’s resistance to spalling corrosion.

H14: Tensile strength is between O state and H18 state (1/2 hard state)

H311: H31 plus small cold working status

H32: The tensile strength is between the O state and the H34 state (stabilization treatment is performed after cold working. 1/4 hard state)

H321: H32 plus small cold working status

H323: Special processing state improves the stress corrosion cracking resistance of H32 (1/4 hard state)

H34: The tensile strength is between the O state and the H38 state (stabilization treatment is performed after cold working. 1/2 hard state)

H343: Special processing state improves the stress corrosion cracking resistance of H34 (1/2 hard state)

Marine 6000 series alloy T temper code

T1: Natural aging state after high-temperature thermal processing and cooling. It is suitable for hot-extruded materials that do not undergo cold processing, or straightening and other cold processing products that have little impact on their calibrated mechanical properties.

T4: After solid solution treatment, natural aging state. It is suitable for products that do not undergo cold processing after solution treatment, or products where cold straightening has little impact on the calibrated mechanical properties.

T5: Artificial aging state after high-temperature hot processing, suitable for products that do not undergo cold processing after high-temperature forming. Or products whose straightening and cold working has little impact on their calibrated mechanical properties.

T6: Artificial failure state after solution treatment. It is suitable for products that do not undergo cold working after solution treatment, or that have little impact on their calibrated mechanical properties due to straightening and other operations.

T61: Treatment in hot water T6 treatment, suitable for castings.
