Marine Grade Aluminum 6061

In practical applications, the advantages of marine grade aluminum are very obvious. Its specific gravity is small, reducing the ships’ own weight and increasing the load. The marine grade aluminum sheet has excellent corrosion resistance, enabling the ship own a longer service life. It also has good welding and processing performance.

6061 aluminum sheet is a typical 6xxx series aluminum plate. It has excellent weldability, corrosion resistance and easy processing and forming characteristics. Its electroplating, corrosion resistance, strong toughness and no deformation after processing and compact and defect-free material property make itself widely used in ship and tanker manufacturing.

• 6061 aluminum wide plate : The international standard widths of aluminum plates are 1000 mm, 1200 mm, and 1220 mm. We usually define aluminum plates with a width of more than 1500 mm as the aluminum wide plate. The thickness of 6061 aluminum wide plate is over 1 mm.

• 6061 aluminum checker plate: It has rich patterns including one bar, two bar, three bar, five bar, compass,etc. It has excellent anti-skid effect, which is widely used as the floor of ship deck.

• T6 and T651 are the main tempers of 6061 aluminum plates. It is a high-quality aluminum alloy product produced by heat treatment and pre-stretching process. Although its strength can not be compared with 2xxx series or 7xxx series, it has many superior properties like excellent welding performance.
