A common material for making ships is aluminum alloy. In the 1000-8000 série, some alloys are widely used in ships. Aluminum alloys are widely used in the shipbuilding industry because of their excellent properties such as light weight, odolnost proti korozi, and high strength.
The aluminum alloys used in the shipbuilding industry are usually divided into two series: 5000 série (Al-Mg) a 6000 série (Al-Mg-Si). These two series of aluminum alloys have very good moisture resistance and corrosion resistance, and can be used longer in humid environments.
What are the differences between the 500 series and the 6000 series in terms of shipbuilding?
5000 series alloys (aluminum-magnesium alloys)
Among the 5xxx series aluminum alloys, 5083 a 5086 are the two most widely used aluminum alloys.
Hliník 5083 slitina
Složení: Contains magnesium (4.0-4.9%), mangan (0.4-1.0%) and trace chromium (0.05-0.25%).
Vlastnosti:
High Strength: One of the strongest non-heat-treatable alloys.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Particularly resistant to seawater and industrial chemicals.
Good Weldability: Suitable for welding, a popular choice for ship hulls and superstructures.
Moderate Machinability: Can be machined to a satisfactory surface.
Hliník 5086 Slitina
Složení: Contains magnesium (3.5-4.5%), mangan (0.2-0.7%), and iron (≤ 0.5%).
Vlastnosti:
High Strength: Slightly lower in strength than 5083, but still very strong.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Particularly suitable for seawater and harsh environments.
Good Weldability: Commonly used for ship hulls and other structures in marine environments.
Good Formability: Can be easily formed into complex shapes.
6000 Series Alloys (Aluminum-Magnesium-Silicon)
Hliník 6061 Slitina
Složení: Contains magnesium (0.8-1.2%), křemík (0.4-0.8%), and small amounts of copper (0.15-0.4%) a chrom (0.04-0.35%).
Vlastnosti:
Medium-high strength: Good strength after heat treatment.
Dobrá odolnost proti korozi: Suitable for marine environments.
Výborná svařitelnost: Can be welded by all methods.
Dobrá obrobitelnost: Commonly used in marine fittings, small boats and masts.
Dobrá tvarovatelnost: Can be easily formed into various shapes.
Hliník 6082 Slitina
Složení: Contains magnesium (0.6-1.2%), křemík (0.7-1.3%) and manganese (0.4-1.0%).
Vlastnosti:
Vysoká pevnost: Higher strength than 6061, suitable for more demanding applications.
Dobrá odolnost proti korozi: Ideal for marine and structural applications.
Dobrá svařitelnost: Suitable for welding and can be heat treated.
Dobrá obrobitelnost: Commonly used in shipbuilding structural applications and decks.
Comparison and Applications of 5-Series and 6-Series Aluminum Alloys
5000 Series vs. 6000 Série
Item | 5000 série | 6000 série |
Pevnost | 5000 Series alloys generally have higher strength in the non-heat-treatable condition compared to 6000 Série. | |
Odolnost proti korozi | Both series have excellent corrosion resistance, ale 5000 Series generally outperforms in marine environments due to the higher magnesium content. | |
Svařitelnost | Both series are highly weldable, ale 5000 Series alloys may be better suited for large structural components due to their better performance and the absence of post-weld heat treatment. | |
Obrobitelnost | 6000 Series alloys generally have better machinability, making them suitable for fine fittings and components. |
Applications in Shipbuilding
5083 a 5086: Widely used in hulls, nástavby, and other large structural components due to their strength and corrosion resistance.
6061 a 6082: Used in various parts of ships, such as fittings, masts, ladders, and frames. They are easy to machine and have good overall properties, making them suitable for smaller parts and structural elements.
The 5000 series alloys, especially 5083 a 5086, are favored for their high strength and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for hulls and large structural parts. The 6000 series alloys, včetně 6061 a 6082, are favored for their excellent machinability, svařitelnost, and suitability for smaller parts and fittings.
