5083 6061 Marine aluminum for gangway

A gangway is a device that connects the ship's side (side of the hull) to the deck. It is usually used for getting on and off ships, landing docks, or other transportation between ships. They are very important equipment on ships, providing easy and safe access between the ship and the dock, other ships or the shore.

5083 6061 aluminum alloy material can meet the requirements of lightweight, corrosion resistance and sufficient strength of the gangway structure, so that the gangway can maintain good performance and reliability during use of the ship.

Due to its higher magnesium content, 5083 alloy generally has better corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments.

Alloy 6061 offers better machinability and weldability than 5083.

6061 is more commonly used in structural applications where strength is critical, while 5083 is favored for marine applications due to its corrosion resistance.

Ship gangway composition

Ladder (step): It is the core part of the gangway and consists of a series of steps for people to move up and down. These steps are usually flat and stable to ensure that passengers can use the gangway safely.
Side panels and handrails: Located on both sides of the ladder, they are used to prevent people from accidentally slipping and increase stability when boarding the ship. Handrails are usually located on the side of a ladder for passengers to hold on to for balance.
Support structure: Connects the ladder to the ship's side and supports the entire gangway system. These support structures are usually made of solid metal materials to ensure the stability and safety of the gangway.
Adjustable Devices: Some gangways have adjustable sections that can be adjusted to the height difference between the vessel and the dock to ensure the engagement of the gangway and the safety of passengers.

The design and use of gangways must comply with international maritime safety regulations to ensure the safety of passengers. Proper use and maintenance of gangways is critical to vessel operations and passenger safety.

Marine aluminum alloy for gangway

6061 aluminum alloy: has good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and is suitable for ladders, support structures and other components of gangways.
5083 aluminum alloy: It has excellent seawater corrosion resistance and is often used in gangway components that require higher corrosion resistance, such as side panels and handrails.
