5083 5754 Aluminum Wide Plate for Tankers

Currently, large tank trucks are undergoing a transition from steel to aluminum. At present, aluminum tank trucks or all-aluminum tank trucks account for an increasing proportion in the market, and are enthusiastically sought after by the public. AW5083 aluminum wide plate is the main aluminum alloy for aluminum tank trucks. 5083 ultra-wide aluminum plate is widely used in making tanker body. Because tank trucks are generally longer, with a length of 4-12.5 meters.

5754 alloy can be used to make tank truck bodies and baffles, which can reduce the weight of tank trucks, increase load capacity, reduce fuel consumption, and reduce exhaust emissions. Moreover, 5754 aluminum plate has strong corrosion resistance and can greatly extend the service life of tank trucks. Therefore, it is favored by the tank truck manufacturers.

The larger the width of the aluminum plate, the more difficult it is to control the plate shape. The plate shape has a great influence on the surface quality of the plate and is the key to whether qualified products can be rolled. Ultra-thin thickness requires more precise control, which places extremely high requirements on production.

Due to the heavy weight of the ultra-wide aluminum plate, great attention must be paid to the appropriate cutting process. During the cutting process of the ultra-wide aluminum plate, we should pay attention to the following points:

1. Scratch: Scratch phenomenon is a common phenomenon in domestic shearing. When the aluminum plate is pushed into the shear machine, it will rub against the feed port of the shear machine, causing scratches, which affects the surface appearance quality of the aluminum plate. If users who have high requirements for aluminum surface quality, I recommend shearing and processing after coating.

2. Accurate dimensions: the length and width must be accurate and reasonable, and the diagonal tolerance should be controlled between 1-2mm.

3. Neat trimming: The shearing knives of some aluminum plate shearing machines are not sharp, resulting in uneven trimming edges of aluminum plates. It is recommended to look for large processing enterprises and new processing equipment during processing.
