Aluminum alloy and glass fiber are the materials commonly used in the production of yachts.Official BoatManufacturers talk about the advantages and disadvantages of aluminum alloy ships and glass steel ships.

Official boat manufacturers talk about the cost of navigation: with the same size and structural strength, the weight of the aluminum alloy ship is only about half of the glass fiber ship. Lightweight, aluminum alloy boats are more fuel-efficient than fiberglass boats.

2. Operability and stability: aluminum alloy ships are light in weight, so aluminum alloy ships have better maneuverability and operability. On the contrary, the weight of the glass fiber thread is heavier, so it is relatively stable when the wave resistance is good and the wave state is not good.

3. Appearance and seaworthiness: Except for the Morning Star Boys produced by Kogan aluminum ships, ordinary aluminum ships are combined with one plate and combined with sheet metal by welding or rivets, which are not as good as glass fiber ships in appearance and fluid characteristics. The glass fiber thread can have a bright appearance and excellent fluid characteristics, because the glass cloth can be deformed at will, stick to the linear, and glue can be combined between the cloth and the cloth. Due to the large plasticity, the glass ship is superior to the traditional aluminum ship in shape and seaworthiness. However, the official boat manufacturers believe that Kejian aluminum wire has adopted metal forming technology, so that the new generation of aluminum wire can also have the unique appearance and seaworthiness of glass fiber wire.

　　4.Official BoatManufacturers talk about mobility: due to limited underwater berths, high berthing and maintenance costs, and rising demand for mobile vessels, more and more ships are moored on land and need to be transferred by car to waters where ships are needed. The aluminum alloy boat is light in weight, so it is easier to get on and off than a fiberglass boat, and it is more convenient to drag with a car.

Maintenance costs: aluminum alloy and air contact on the surface to form a hard, non-corrosive protective layer, the official boat manufacturers believe that this feature makes the aluminum alloy ship has a certain self-repair ability, if you encounter a general scratch or collision, do not need special care and maintenance. The paint of the aluminum alloy hull is not to protect the aluminum alloy, but because it is beautiful. On the contrary, the official boat manufacturers believe that the glass fiber line needs careful care and care.

6. Service life: The service life of aluminum alloy wire is much longer than that of glass fiber wire. Due to the short service life of fiberglass ships, internal injuries often do not show up from the appearance. Therefore, developed countries including Taiwan have shilling restrictions on the import of fiberglass ships, and aluminum alloy ships do not have such restrictions.

Official boat manufacturers talk about environmental protection: aluminum alloy can be fully recycled, recycled by the kilogram of sale, both personal and environmental benefits. Fiberglass cannot be recycled, so shipowners must pay to dispose of it when it is scrapped. Now, in addition to burying with garbage, it is also ground into powder, added with asphalt and paved on the road.

8. Second-hand price: easy maintenance, ship age, easy to see, so aluminum alloy ship depreciation is less, second-hand price is higher than glass fiber ship.

Aluminum alloy is basically divided into 7 kinds. Among them, only 5000 series and 6000 series marine-grade aluminum alloys are internationally recognized and can be used in ships. Other aluminum, such as 2000 and 3000 series aluminum alloys for aluminum windows, are strictly prohibited for ships that need to be in contact with sea water due to insufficient salt resistance and weather resistance.
