Introduction of 5059 aluminum alloy plate
5059 aluminum alloy is a 5000 series aluminum alloy: the main alloy additive is magnesium, and it is formulated into forged products for primary forming.
Aluminum alloy has low density, non-magnetic properties, and good low-temperature performance. Using it as a ship structure material can reduce the weight of the ship, increase the load capacity, and improve stability and speed. Therefore, for all kinds of small and medium-sized ships, especially hydrofoils, hovercraft, and small warships, choosing it as a shell material is a popular choice.
Marine aluminum plate is an indispensable material in ship construction, especially those with superior corrosion resistance. 5059 aluminum belongs to the Al-Mg series alloy. It has good comprehensive properties such as corrosion resistance and tensile strength.
Its tensile strength is higher than some low-carbon low-carbon steels, it has strong resistance to seawater and marine climate corrosion, and has good welding performance. It is often used in marine engineering such as large cruise ships.
