Aluminium Bar-Bulb have a profile with a “rod” extending at one end. Compared with extrusions such as Angles or Flat Bars, Bulb Flat have higher strength-to-weight ratios. As a result they are widely used in the shipbuilding industry as superior alternatives to ribs.
Aluminium Bar-Bulb
Aluminium Bar-Bulb are tailor which made for plate stiffening applications.
The special shape provides tremendous advantages when compared with other types of stiffener.Aluminium Bar-Bulb provide benefits during the initial steel construction phase, and also during the working life of a ship or other products on the carrier.
Merits of choosing bulb flat:
-
1.the Aluminium Bar-Bulb are ready to use plate stiffeners. They cost less and more effective than welded or fabricated stiffeners.
-
2.The unique shape allows the Aluminium Bar-Bulb maximize resistance to buckling, and easy for welding or painting.
-
3.The curved surface effectively avoids initiating corrosion which is unlikely to trap moisture or pollutants.
-
4. For cleaning, Aluminium Bar-Bulb are easy to be cleaned and blind corners are less likely to trap the cargo.
