FAQ:

Is 6063 aluminum marine grade ?

No, 6063 aluminum is not generally considered marine grade aluminum. Marine-grade aluminum refers to alloys specifically designed to enhance corrosion resistance and durability in marine environments exposed to salt water and other harsh conditions. Common marine grade aluminum alloys include 5083, 5086, and 6061, which offer superior corrosion resistance and strength properties compared to 6063. These alloys are commonly used in the construction of ships, shipbuilding, and other marine applications.
What aluminum for marine fuel tanks ?

The two most commonly used aluminum alloys for marine fuel tanks are 5052 and 5083.
5052 aluminum alloy is known for its good corrosion resistance, high strength and excellent formability. It is commonly used in marine oil tanks. 5083 aluminum alloy has excellent corrosion resistance in harsh seawater environments. It has excellent weldability and high strength and is suitable for building marine fuel tanks.
Both 5052 and 5083 aluminum alloys are approved by the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) for use in marine fuel tanks.

What is the best marine grade aluminum for welding ?

5083 and 5086 are considered the most suitable marine grade aluminum for welding. Because of its excellent seawater corrosion resistance, 5083 aluminum alloy has good weldability and can still maintain strength after welding. It is suitable for various marine structures such as hulls, decks, and superstructures; 5086 aluminum alloy has excellent corrosion resistance and Weldability, often used in ship hulls, pressure vessels and other marine structures that require high strength and resistance to salt water corrosion.
