Product Description
The 5xxx Series Corrosion Resistant Aluminum Wire for Marine is a specialized marine-grade solution engineered to thrive in harsh saltwater environments. Composed of aluminum-magnesium alloys (5052 and 5356), these wires leverage magnesium’s ability to enhance corrosion resistance and tensile strength, making them indispensable for shipbuilding, offshore platforms, and underwater systems where durability is critical.
Parameter | Value |
Alloy Type | 5052, 5356 |
Diameter | 1–10mm |
Tensile Strength | 260–330MPa |
Salt Spray Resistance | ≥500 hours (ASTM B117) |
Elongation | 12–20% |
Marine-Grade Durability: 5052 wires resist pitting corrosion in saltwater environments, with a corrosion rate <0.01mm/year—outperforming stainless steel in brackish or acidic marine conditions.
High Strength: 5356 alloy wires exhibit superior fatigue resistance (≥100MPa at 10⁷ cycles), making them ideal for dynamic applications like winch cables and mooring lines that undergo repeated stress.
Weldability: Compatible with ER5356 filler wire, enabling strong, corrosion-resistant welds that maintain 90% of base material strength—critical for on-site repairs in remote offshore locations.
Lightweight Advantage: Weighs 50% less than steel wire rope, reducing fuel consumption in marine vessels and simplifying handling during installation and maintenance.
Shipbuilding: Used in hull reinforcements, rigging cables, and anchor chains, where their anti-corrosive properties extend service intervals by 5+ years compared to carbon steel.
Offshore Oil & Gas: Integral to subsea pipeline clamps, platform safety rails, and umbilical cables, resisting hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and high-pressure seawater (up to 300m depth).
Underwater Cables: Conductors in subsea communication and power cables, leveraging low magnetic permeability to minimize signal interference and resistance to biofouling.
Coastal Infrastructure: Employed in seawall reinforcements and marina docking systems, withstanding tidal fluctuations and salt spray exposure.
Q: Can these wires be used in freshwater?
A: Yes, they perform reliably in freshwater, but their enhanced corrosion inhibitors provide added protection in saltwater—making them unnecessary for purely freshwater applications where 3xxx series may suffice.
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A: Continuous use up to 65°C is recommended. Exceeding this increases risk of stress corrosion cracking in high-magnesium alloys; for higher temperatures, 5083 alloy (with 4.5% magnesium) is preferable.
