Medium thickness aluminum plate 5083 for ship

Last Updated :

5083 Marine Aluminum Plate refers primarily to 5083 aluminum plates used in the construction of ship structures, typically available in the form of medium-thick plates.

The thickness of marine aluminum plates varies depending on specific applications and ship structure requirements. Generally, the thickness range of marine aluminum plates is broad but can be roughly categorized as follows:

  • Marine Aluminum Sheet: Thickness generally ranges from 1mm to 6mm, mainly used for the ship's exterior shell, interior fittings, and other parts.
  • Marine Medium Thickness Aluminum Plate: Thickness typically ranges from 6mm to 25mm. This is a common thickness range used in ship structures, suitable for hulls, decks, bottoms, and other critical areas.
  • Marine Thick Aluminum Plate: Aluminum plates with a thickness exceeding 25mm are usually used for specific structural components of ships, such as the bottom plates and frames, where additional strength is required.

For 5083 marine aluminum plates, medium-thick plates (6mm to 25mm) are commonly chosen because they offer sufficient strength and corrosion resistance, are easy to process and weld, and are ideal materials for ship hull structures.

Material Characteristics of 5083 Medium-Thick Aluminum Plates

  • Alloy Number: 5083
  • Temper: Common tempers include H116, H321, etc., with different tempers selected based on specific usage requirements.
  • Main Components: 5083 aluminum plates primarily contain magnesium, manganese, and chromium elements. The proportions of these elements give it excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in marine environments.

5083 Marine Aluminum Plate Dimensions

  • Thickness: Typically ranges from 6mm to 200mm
  • Width: 1000mm to 3000mm
  • Length: 2000mm to 12000mm
  • Other Specifications: Can be customized according to customer-specific requirements.

Features of Medium-Thick Aluminum Plate 5083

  • Corrosion Resistance: The 5083 medium-thick aluminum plate has exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion and can maintain stability for extended periods in high humidity and salt spray environments. This makes it an ideal material for manufacturing ship hulls, ship components, and other marine structures.
  • Weldability: The 5083 alloy has good weldability and is suitable for various welding methods (such as TIG, MIG welding). During welding, the material does not crack or develop other defects, ensuring the strength and reliability of the welded joints.
  • Workability: 5083 aluminum plates possess good workability and can be processed into various shapes through cutting, bending, stamping, forming, etc. Additionally, its surface is easy to anodize, enhancing its decorative and corrosion-resistant properties.

Applications of Marine Medium Thickness Aluminum Plate 5083

  • Shipbuilding: Used in the construction of hulls, decks, cabins, bottom plates, and other parts.
  • Marine Engineering: Suitable for marine structural components, platforms, and other parts requiring high corrosion resistance.
  • Other Applications: Also used in other structural applications requiring corrosion resistance and high strength, such as pressure vessels, refrigerated trucks, automobile bodies, etc.
