Product Information

marine grade aluminum alloy sheet

We carry a wide range of marine metal products in numerous shapes, alloys, and cut-to-size pieces. What makes these the best metal for salt water, and other wet environment applications, is that they are all alloys with exceptional corrosion resistance.

These marine materials can be used in boat hull fabrication, parts manufacturing and repair, and fishing gear, as well as in the construction of marine facilities such as docks. Metals ranging from beautiful brass bars to hard-working beryllium can be just what’s needed to fit your marine project.

Many sport fishing as well as commercial vessels are fabricated from marine grade aluminum alloy sheet, while aluminum fittings and fasteners are easily machined. When workability, strength and corrosion resistance are top factors marine grade aluminum 5052 is one of the most commonly used alloys, however, 6061 is also a cost-effective solution with slightly less durability.

In addition to sheet/plate that is suitable for boats, marine grade aluminum I beams are easy to work with and make an excellent option for structural applications. We offer the widest of variety of marine grade aluminum shapes and alloys online, for any maritime fabrication need.

Why choose marine grade aluminum alloy sheet

 There are many models of  aluminum alloy sheets that are suitable for marine grade aluminum alloy sheet, so why choose marine grade aluminum alloy sheet as the first choice for marine metal ?There are four reasons as follow.

1. marine grade aluminum alloy sheet has high strength and specific modulus. Since the elastic modulus and density of aluminum alloys are roughly the same, which are closely related to the structural strength and size of the ship, increasing the yield strength within a certain range can reduce the tension of the ship structure. marine grade aluminum alloy sheet is of medium strength and can have excellent corrosion resistance and weldability at the same time.

2. marine grade aluminum alloy sheet has excellent weldability. aluminum plate is not prone to cracks during welding.

3. marine grade aluminum alloy sheet has excellent corrosion resistance. 5052 aluminum plate is a typical rust-proof aluminum plate, which has good corrosion resistance, can adapt to harsh marine environment and is durable.

4. The density of marine grade aluminum alloy sheet is small. Aluminum alloy has a small specific gravity, which can reduce the weight of the ship board.
