Aluminium 1050 and offshore usage
Aluminium 1050 and offshore usage
(OP)
We use aluminium with a low amount of alloy (1050 or 1060) for finning of tubes for air cooled coolers. Often these coolers are used offshore and then the clients are asking for 'marine grade aluminium'.
Now the question is: how can I prove that the used aluminium grade is suitable for a marine environment, is there a standard (ASTM/ISO/EN) which I can use?
