Aluminum plate for shipbuilding is an important and indispensable material in shipbuilding, with light weight, corrosion resistance, good processability and other excellent characteristics. Aluminum plate for shipbuilding usually uses 5000 series and 6000 series of aluminum alloy, the following are common aluminum plate for shipbuilding and their characteristics:

1. 5083 aluminum plate

Features: 5083 aluminum plate belongs to aluminum-magnesium alloy, with low density, high toughness, high corrosion resistance and weldability. It is mainly used for ship hull structure, characterized by high strength, good corrosion resistance, excellent weldability, good ductility, and can well adapt to the harsh marine environment. The use of 5083 aluminum plate can reduce the quality of the ship, increase the load, improve the safety and service life of the ship, and at the same time, it is also economical.

Application: widely used in hull, deck, cabin and other structural components.

2. 5086 Aluminum Plate

Characteristics: 5086 aluminum plate has good ductility and corrosion resistance, commonly used in the manufacture of the bottom of the ship and the transom plate and other components that need to withstand greater water pressure and corrosion.

Applications: boat bottoms, transom plates, etc.

3. 5052 Aluminum Plate

Characteristics: 5052 aluminum plate also has good corrosion resistance and weldability, medium strength and excellent processing performance. It is not as common as 5083 aluminum plate in shipbuilding, but it is also used in some specific parts.

Applications: It can be used for non-major load-bearing structures or decorative parts of ship hulls.

4. 6061 Aluminum Plate

Characteristics: 6061 aluminum plate has high bending strength and ductility, and is mainly used for cantilevers, bridges and other components. In shipbuilding, it may be used for some non-hull structural components that require higher strength and better processability.

Applications: cantilever, bridge and other parts of ships.

5. 7075 Aluminum Plate

Characteristics: 7075 Aluminum Plate has very high strength and wear resistance, and is mainly used in the manufacture of some highly loaded parts, such as ship anchor chains. However, due to its high price and relatively high processing difficulty, it is used relatively less in shipbuilding.

Applications: ship anchor chains, high load structural components, etc.

The aluminum plate price in shipbuilding is affected by many factors, including grade, specification, market supply and demand, raw material cost and so on. As a result, prices can fluctuate over time and market conditions. Below are some examples of prices, but please note that these prices are for reference only and actual prices may vary.

5083 Aluminum Plate: the price range is wider, ranging from a dozen to several tens of dollars per kilogram, the specific price depends on the specifications, thickness, processing requirements and other factors.

5052 aluminum plate: the price is relatively more affordable, but it may also vary depending on the specifications and processing requirements.

6061 aluminum plate: the price is similar to 5083 aluminum plate, but will also fluctuate due to market supply and demand.

7075 Aluminum Plate: Prices are usually higher due to the extremely high strength and wear resistance.

Specific prices can be consulted and compared according to market conditions and supplier quotes. Generally speaking, the price of aluminum plate for shipbuilding is between $2,000 and $4,000 per ton. It is recommended that you compare more quotes from different suppliers and choose the more cost-effective product before you buy.
