Speaking of marine grade aluminium sheet, we usually think of 5052 and 5083. As a matter of fact, 5083 is the most frequently applied marine grade aluminium sheet, and 5052 is usually used for ships or boats traveling in rivers. Another type of sheet, 5456 is used for smaller boats in parks. Thus when people are talking about marine grade aluminium sheet price, they are actually talking about the price of 5083, but some tend to confuse it with 5052 and 5456, especially the former.
The 5083 aluminum sheet is a high-magnesium alloy with good strength in the non-heat treatable alloy, and good corrosion resistance and machinability. The surface is beautiful after anodizing. The arc welding performance is good. The main alloying element in the 5083 alloy is magnesium, which has good corrosion resistance and weldability, as well as moderate strength. Excellent corrosion resistance makes the 5083 alloy a widely used marine grade aluminium sheet for vehicles such as ships, as well as in automobiles, aircraft welding parts, subway light rails, pressure vessels that require strict fire protection (such as liquid tankers, refrigerated trucks, refrigerated containers), refrigeration units, TV towers, Drilling equipment, transportation equipment, missile parts, armor, etc.
The 5052 aluminum sheet belongs to the Al-Mg alloy and has a wide range of applications. Especially in the construction industry, it is inseparable from the alloy and is the most promising alloy. Good corrosion resistance, excellent weldability, good cold workability and medium strength. The main alloying element of 5052 aluminum alloy is magnesium, which has good forming and processing properties, corrosion resistance, weldability and medium strength. It is used in the manufacture of aircraft fuel tanks, oil pipes, and sheet metal parts for transportation vehicles and ships, instruments and street lamp brackets. Rivets, hardware, electric-shells, etc.
5456 is a kind of heat-resistant hard aluminum. Its characteristics are: the strength is not too high at normal temperature, but it has high creep strength at high temperature. The alloy has strength plasticity in the hot state, no extrusion effect. It can handle strengthening, spot welding, good performance in seam welding, less obvious tendency to form cracks, good air tightness of welds, low corrosion stability of welded joints, good corrosion stability of coated aluminum sheets, and extrusion of semi-finished products. Corrosion resistance is not high, in order to prevent corrosion, anodizing or painting protection should be adopted: the machinability is good. Uses are mainly used for parts working at 250-350oC, such as bearings to the blades of the compressor, discs, plates for welding parts working at normal temperature and high temperature, such as containers, airtight warehouses, etc.
