Boat Hull Material at GELEX
Specialized marine aluminum alloy EN AW-5083H111. This alloy contains up to 4.9% magnesium, as well as titanium, manganese, chromium, iron, silicon, copper, and other components, which enhances the rigidity and extends the service life of the hull.
Properties of EN AW-5083H111:
- High Strength: Possesses excellent tensile and fatigue resistance, making it ideal for high-load structures.
- Good Weldability: The alloy is easily welded using most welding methods, creating strong and reliable joints.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Especially in seawater and other aggressive environments, making it ideal for marine applications.
- Retains Properties at Low Temperatures: Suitable for use in Arctic conditions.
ALUMINUM WELDING
The assembly of boat hull components is performed using a combination of semi-automatic and manual techniques. We utilize modern metal cutting equipment that ensures exceptional precision—up to 0.5 mm—and creates strong and reliable joints. Our manufacturing specialists employ advanced welding methods, including TIG and MIG-MAG, to ensure the quality and durability of each boat.
PASSIVATION
The chromat-free titanium passivation process ENVIROX provides additional reliable corrosion protection and minimizes environmental impact compared to traditional chromate methods. This method allows for more thorough surface preparation for painting and achieves maximum paint adhesion to the metal, enhancing anti-corrosion properties and significantly extending the lifespan of the boat.
POWDER COATING
Applying specialized marine grade polyester powder paint creates a durable, up to 1 mm thick, wear-resistant coating. The process involves applying electrostatically charged powder to the surface of the boat, followed by heating to high temperatures, which helps form a strong and wear-resistant coating. Powder coating has several advantages: it provides a uniform coating without irregularities, resulting in a smooth and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the boat; it is highly resistant to ultraviolet radiation, corrosion, and scratches; it is environmentally friendly, as the powder does not contain solvents or other harmful substances. Thanks to powder coating, GELEX boats not only have a quality finish but are also durable in use, maintaining their appearance and protection over a long period.
