Marine tested metals
Discover the metals best suited to conquer the challenges of the maritime environment:
Aluminium
Aluminium stands out as one of the most prevalent metals in marine applications, often employed in ship hull construction. Its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio makes it an ideal choice, and when combined with chromium, magnesium, or silicon alloys, aluminium exhibits remarkable resistance to corrosion. Whether for shipbuilding, dock installations, or shipyard infrastructure, aluminium excels.
Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel, enriched with molybdenum, excels at thwarting corrosion induced by saltwater exposure. It proves indispensable in crafting boat propeller shafts and storage containers.
