The advantages of aluminum landing craft

Since 1891, aluminum landing craft has been made for almost a century. With the rapid development of the shipbuilding industry at home and abroad, the lightweight of ships is being increasingly emphasized. Due to the low density, high strength, and corrosion resistance of industrial aluminum, it is very suitable for the harsh use environment of the sea. Moreover, the processing cost of industrial aluminum is lower, thus making aluminum landing craft more economical. From a ship designer's point of view, ships made from industrial aluminum profiles are faster and have a longer service life under the same power conditions. As a result, the technology for industrial aluminum profiles for ships has advanced dramatically in recent years and offers a wide market for a large number of aluminum materials.

l Excellent corrosion resistance

l Low density and lightness

l Good cold and hot-forming properties

Excellent welding properties

Welding has more obvious advantages than riveting, as the properties lost through welding cannot be restored through re-treatment in shipbuilding, whereas industrial aluminum profiles have good weld crack resistance and the properties of the welded joints do not differ much after welding, making them very suitable for shipbuilding welding. This is the reason why aluminum landing craft has gained a wide market.

Excellent corrosion resistance

When aluminum comes into contact with air, it forms a dense, robust aluminum oxide film on its surface, which is highly resistant to the elements in seawater. Combined with anodizing technology, industrial aluminum profiles maintain a very stable form in seawater. Aluminum landing craft has a longer service life and is preferred over other materials.

Low density and lightness

Aluminum is only about one-third as dense as iron. This gives the boat a lighter hull for the same hull size, which greatly benefits the speed and fuel economy of the boat, resulting in a longer range for the same amount of fuel. For the same fuel consumption, longer distances can be covered and there is clearly a wider range of applications for aluminum landing craft.

Good cold and hot-forming properties

During the construction process, ships are subjected to cold processing (such as bending, rolled edges, roll bending, stamping, etc.) and hot processing (such as hot bending, firework orthopedics, etc.). Therefore, the ship's aluminum alloy is required to be easy to process and shape, not to produce cracks and other defects when processing, and to meet the strength, corrosion resistance, and other performance requirements even after processing. These are the properties that aluminum landing craft has. Aluminum landing craft has better corrosion resistance and wear resistance, which can effectively avoid hull failure caused by corrosion.

The above are the advantages of aluminum landing craft. It is because of these advantages that aluminum landing craft have a broader scope of use, whether for fishing or transportation, and they have been well received by customers in the market.
