This makes it widely used in naval ships, offshore platforms and other applications where corrosion resistance is required.
Machinability: aluminum alloy has good machinability, 5083 5456 7039 aluminum alloy forging plate can be formed by forging process, can meet the complex structure and design requirements. This machinability helps to create armor plates that meet the needs of specific applications.
Bulletproof performance: aluminum alloy forgings are properly designed and machined to provide a degree of bulletproof capability to protect occupants and equipment from shrapnel, bullets and shells.
Applications of 5083 5456 7039 forging armor plates
Body armor: forged armor plates are often used on the bodies of military vehicles, armored vehicles and tanks. These armor plates provide anti-ballistic and protective functions to protect the occupants and critical equipment inside the vehicle from enemy fire and explosions.
Turret armor: 5083 5456 7039 forged armor plates are widely used in the turrets of tanks, self-propelled guns and armored vehicles. The turret is an important part of these vehicles and requires excellent protection to protect the gunner and fire control equipment.
Chassis armor: the chassis is the bottom structure of the armored vehicle and an important part of the vehicle. Forged armor plates can be used in various parts of the chassis to provide additional strength and protection against mines, bombs and other underside attacks.
Side armor: the side is one of the areas where the vehicle is vulnerable to attack. Forged armor plates can be used to reinforce side structures, providing better impact and explosion resistance and increasing vehicle survivability.
Blast plates and bulletproof plates: 7039 Forged armor plates can also be used to manufacture blast plates and bulletproof plates for the protection of buildings, safety vehicles and other applications that require bulletproof and explosion-proof properties.
