Aluminium products and solutions for the Naval Sector

Shipbuilding demands materials that combine lightness, durability and resistance to highly corrosive environments. Aluminium is a key ally in this environment, and at Alu-Stock we offer solutions adapted to each type of vessel or maritime installation.

Benefits of Aluminum for Marine Applications:

Resistance: compared to other light materials such as fibres, aluminium has a better behaviour against possible shocks as it has a high ductility.
Lightness: the lightness of aluminium boats compared to other materials gives them several advantages: better manoeuvrability, greater performance and lower consumption.
Rigidity: aluminium hulls are made by welding together all the elements that make up the structure, which makes it compact and rigid.
Watertightness: although the other materials are just as waterproof, the possibility of making the joints by welding and without the need to use mechanical fixings that require perforations, makes this type of boat less likely to suffer leaks.
Ecology: aluminum’s 100% practically unlimited recyclability makes it not only efficient, but also committed to the environment.
Maintenance: the excellent performance of aluminium in corrosive environments means that it does not need to be painted to protect it. The use of Zinc or Magnesium sacrificial anodes prevents possible electrolytic corrosion. In addition, repairs are simpler and guarantee a resistance similar to the original.
