Aluminium / Aluminum Alloy series for Fishing Vessel

In these craft, the weight-saving and corrosion-resistance economies of aluminum have proven to exceed the initial investment premium. Following a short service test in 1957 of two 36-ft welded aluminum purse seine boats built of 0.25-in.-thick 5052-H32 plate and 6061-T6 shapes, an entire fleet was changed to aluminum. The original advantage (more…)

Aluminum Alloys Series for Pleasure Boats Ships Yachts

Small boats are fabricated from a wide range of aluminum sheet alloys, mainly in the 5xxx and 6xxx series. These have an optimum combination of strength, cost, ease of fabrication, and corrosion resistance. Generally, 5052-H32, 5052-H34, or 6061-T6 is used for small hulls that need no stretch forming. Where stretch forming is employed, 6061-T4 sheet, which may be subsequently artificially aged to the T6 temper, is utilized. Extrusions of 6061 or 6063 are used for structural and decorative sections, such as keels, (more…)

Marine Applications of Aluminum Alloys – Boat Ship Yacht

Complete Tutorial Guide Manual  of Aluminum / Aluminium Alloys  Serries  and grade for Marine Application ; Boat, Ship, Yacht


Aluminum is used in hulls, deckhouses, and hatch covers of commercial ships, as well as in equipment items, such as ladders, railings, gratings, windows, and doors. The major incentive for employing aluminum is its weight saving compared to steel. Because it is common practice to use weldable aluminum alloys having strengths approaching or comparable to mild steel, equal-strength structures can be designed to a weight saving of 55 to 67%. However, to compensate for the lower modulus of elasticity of aluminum and to conform to normal deflection limitations, a somewhat lower, but (more…)

Plans For The World’s Largest Ship – Freedom – City At Sea

Nearly a mile long and 25 stories high, “Freedom” will be the largest vessel to ever sail the seven seas. Freedom will dwarf the Queen Elizabeth II and become a permanent home for 50,000 people. “Walk in a straight line for about 12 minutes,” “If you don’t dawdle, you’ll cover slightly less than a mile. Now, make a right turn and walk beyond the length of two football fields. Duplicate these lines to make a rectangle, then look up to the height of a 25-story building. This is what Freedom will be.

City At Sea – Plans For The Worlds Largest Ship

“Freedom will be large enough to bring on more than 50,000 residents, 15,000 employees, 20,000 day guests and still have four times as much roaming-around square footage per person as the most modern cruise liners,” Nixon says during POPULAR MECHANICS’ visit to (more…)

Aluminum Alloy 6061

6061 is a precipitation hardening aluminum alloy, containing magnesium and silicon as its major alloying elements. It has good mechanical properties and exhibits good weldability. It is one of the most common alloys of aluminum for (more…)
