Introduction to Marine Steel-Aluminium Transition Joints

As technology develops, aluminium-steel structural transition joints are being used to connect aluminium superstructures and steel decks on ships, replacing the riveted connections that were predominantly used before. Aluminium-steel composite material is usually composed of three layers (aluminium-aluminium-steel or aluminium-titanium-steel). The three materials have very different melting points and properties, but explosion welding allows the three materials to form interatomic bonds that are very strong. The use of aluminium-steel composite transition joints has greatly improved the manufacturing cycle and construction quality of steel-aluminium hybrid ships. Welding the steel side of the aluminium-steel bar to the steel deck, and the aluminium side to the aluminium superstructureIt, which can meet the watertightness, airtightness and anticorrosion requirements of the hull and is easy to maintain.

we have good news!

After testing and certifying in all aspects, we can say it now that we have the ability to produce 4800mm long aluminium-steel structural transition joints. Usually, the size of steel-aluminium clad marine joints is just 3800mm. Also our aluminum-steel clad joints' uniformity of performance in tensile strength can up to 80 per cent! We add pure aluminium or titanium as the transition layer, which can increase the strength and service life. If you are in need of ship construction, repair, etc., please consider our marine joint!
