The 5052 medium-thick aluminum plate used in the ship’s cab has a lower density and is lighter than other materials such as steel, which can reduce the total weight of the ship and improve its operating efficiency and fuel economy.
Marine cabs are usually exposed to harsh marine environments. The 5052 medium-thick aluminum plate has good corrosion resistance, can effectively resist the erosion of salt water and moisture, and prolong the service life.
The 5052 medium-thick aluminum plate has high compressive strength, which can provide good structural support and enhance the overall strength and stability of the ship.
The 5052 medium-thick aluminum plate is easy to process and form, and can be cut, welded and bent according to actual needs, and is suitable for the complex shape requirements of the ship’s cab.

Good strength and corrosion resistance.
The density of 5052 aluminum plate is relatively low, which helps to reduce the weight of the ship.
Different surface treatment methods can be selected to increase the surface hardness, wear resistance and decorative properties of the marine wheelhouse aluminum plate.
