TriClad in maritime constructions

TriClad is mainly used in maritime constructions. More and more aluminum is used in shipbuilding to reduce weight. For reasons of cost and durability, not the entire ship will be made of aluminum, but a large part will continue to be made of steel. Aluminum is used to a greater or lesser extent for constructions above the waterline to lower the center of gravity and thus improve the rocking motion.

Applications of TriClad

• Connecting aluminum superstructure to steel decks
• Connecting aluminum decks or bulkheads to the steel hulls
