5083 Aluminum Sheet for Car Air Reservoir

Being overweight has always been a problem in specialized vehicles. Parts such as engine casings, gearboxes, profiles, fuel tanks, and gas storage tanks can all be made of lightweight aluminum, which can reduce a lot of weight on the chassis.

As we all know, the air reservoir is a gas storage device in the automobile braking system. It is used to store gas compressed by the air compressor and is used in automobile braking, horn and other systems. The air storage cylinder includes a cylinder body and two end caps. The cylinder body is provided with a water discharge joint, and the two end caps are provided with pipe joints.

The existing car gas storage cylinders include aluminum-magnesium alloy gas storage cylinders and iron gas storage cylinders. The surface of the aluminum-magnesium alloy has good cleanliness. A dense aluminum oxide protective film naturally formed on the surface can well protect the substrate from corrosion, extend the service life, and does not require painting. The aluminum-magnesium alloy is also lightweight, reducing the weight of the vehicle body. In view of the above advantages, aluminum-magnesium alloy gas reservoirs are mostly used inthe trucks.

With the continuous development of the automobile industry, due to safety and lightweight considerations, the material of air reservoirs has shifted from traditional iron to aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy air reservoirs have gradually replaced iron air reservoirs and become the mainstream of the market.

5083 aluminum plate is a high-quality aluminum alloy plate that belongs to the Al-Mg series alloy and is mainly used for gas storage devices in automobile braking systems. Its main alloying element is magnesium, which has the advantages of good corrosion resistance, light weight, good cold workability, and medium strength. Compared with traditional iron air reservoirs, aluminum alloy air reservoirs are lighter, more durable, and safer.

The common specifications of 5083 aluminum alloy air reservoir are: thickness 2.88mm, width 860-1500mm. A dense and strong aluminum oxide (AL2O3) protective film is easily formed on the surface of this material, which can well protect the substrate from corrosion, thereby extending the service life. At the same time, the aluminum alloy gas tank has a high recyclability rate, which is in line with the development concept of low-carbon and environmental protection.
