• Shipbuilding Lightweight

    Aluminum is Widely Used in the Shipbuilding Industry

    For decades, aluminium has been extensively utilized in marine applications. However, the growing prevalence of faster and lighter ships has resulted in a heightened need for corrosion-resistant aluminium alloys. Consequently, shipbuilders have embraced aluminium as their preferred material due to its lightweight nature and ability to resist corrosion. These properties have significantly enhanced ships by reducing weight, increasing speed, accommodating larger loads, extending travel distances, improving stability, and enhancing fuel efficiency.

    Leveraging its expertise and cutting-edge technology, Mingtai harnesses its capabilities to manufacture an extensive selection of aluminum shates and plates tailored for marine applications. These products showcase exceptional resistance to corrosion, robust structural strength, excellent ductility, effortless workability, and exceptional weldability. Available in diverse widths, thicknesses, and a variety of alloys, Mingtai’s offerings hold certifications from renowned classification societies such as CCS, ABS, BV, and LR.

  • 5083 Marine Aluminum Sheet

    5083 aluminum sheet is the most widely used aluminum sheet in shipbuilding. The common state is H321, H116, H111, etc., the thickness is mostly 4-12mm, and the common length and width are 2000*6000mm1500*6000mm, 2000*8000mm, etc.;

  • 5052 Marine Aluminum Sheet

    TCompared with 5083 aluminum sheet, 5052 aluminum sheet has lower strength. In shipbuilding, it is mostly used on small ships and ship parts, such as: cable bridges on ships, etc.;

  • 5086 Marine Aluminum Sheet

    5086 aluminum sheet is also a marine aluminum alloy plate with high application in shipbuilding. Recently, more than 60 tons of 5086 marine aluminum sheet have been signed, with a specification of 1500*3000mm, which will be sent to Brazil;

Why include aluminum in ships Advantages of Aluminum Alloys in shipbuilding lightweight

High specific strength and specific modulus

The structural strength and size of a ship are closely related to the yield strength and elastic modulus of the material. Since the elastic modulus and density of aluminum alloys are roughly the same, increasing the yield strength within a certain range is beneficial to lighten the ship structure.
