AW 6082-T6 Aluminum I-beam for ship building ABS LR DNV BV certification
We are a professional manufacturer of AW 6082-T6 Aluminum I-beam for ship building ABS LR DNV BV certification in China.
What is I beam?
I-beams are the standard shape for aluminum beams used in floor and ceiling joists to ensure that a structure will be physically sound.
Aluminum I-beam is commonly used in structural applications when a high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance is important.
The AW 6082-T6 aluminum I-beam is a high-strength, lightweight structural component widely used in construction, transportation, marine, and industrial applications. With excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, and machinability, 6082-T6 is ideal for load-bearing structures that require durability and reduced weight
