Steel And Aluminum Explosive Bonding Timetallic Transtion Joints Clad Strips For Shipbuilding
Advantages for shipbuilding and other structure connection purposes
Corrosion resistance:
Aluminum has good corrosion resistance, especially in marine environments. By using aluminum-steel transition joints, the structure can benefit from the corrosion resistance of aluminum in areas exposed to seawater or other corrosive elements.
Lightweight yet strong:
Aluminum is lighter than steel, which can help reduce the overall weight of the ship or structure. This is crucial for improving fuel efficiency in ships and making transportation and installation of structures easier.
In shipbuilding, a lighter weight can increase cargo capacity or improve the ship's speed and maneuverability.
Good electrical conductivity:
Aluminum has high electrical conductivity, which can be beneficial in certain applications where electrical conduction is required.
Cost-effective:
Although the initial cost of explosive welding transition joints may be higher than traditional connection methods, their long-term durability and performance can lead to cost savings over the life of the ship or structure.Reduced maintenance and repair costs due to better corrosion resistance and strength can offset the initial investment.
Bimetallic or Triametallic transition joints accordingly.
- Steel (Q235B, 316L, 304) + Aluminum (AL1050 or 1060) + Aluminum alloy 5083
- Steel (Q235B, 316L, 304) + Aluminum (AL1050 or 1060) + Aluminum alloy 5083
Total thickness can be from 10 mm till 40 mm
