Marine Applications


Aluminum profiles play a pivotal role in ship structures, offering lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and durable solutions across various applications:

1. Superstructures and Decks:

 Aluminum profiles are used in the construction of ship superstructures and decks. Their lightweight nature contributes to reducing overall weight, enhancing fuel efficiency and stability.

2. Bulkheads and Partitions:

 Aluminum profiles are employed in the fabrication of bulkheads and partitions within the ship’s interior. They provide strength and flexibility while meeting safety regulations.

3. Doors, Windows, and Hatches:

 Aluminum profiles are ideal for manufacturing doors, windows, and hatches onboard ships. They offer resistance to corrosion from seawater and durability in harsh marine environments.

4. Handrails and Guardrails:

 Aluminum profiles serve as handrails and guardrails on ships, providing safety features. They are lightweight, durable, and resistant to corrosion.

5. Ladders and Gangways:

 Aluminum profiles are used in the construction of ladders and gangways onboard ships. They offer robustness and corrosion resistance for safe and efficient access.

6. Marine Furniture and Fixtures:

 Aluminum profiles contribute to marine furniture and fixture construction, providing durability and aesthetic appeal in ship interiors.

7. Piping and Conduits:

 Aluminum profiles are utilized for piping and conduits within the ship’s infrastructure, offering corrosion resistance and lightweight solutions.

8. Structural Supports and Frameworks:

 Aluminum profiles provide structural supports and frameworks across various areas of the ship. They contribute to overall vessel stability and performance.

Materials and Manufacturing:

Marine-grade aluminum alloys such as 5000 series (e.g., 5083, 5086) and 6000 series (e.g., 6061, 6063) are commonly extruded for shipbuilding due to their corrosion resistance and strength properties.
