5182-O Aluminum Properties

According to the material of the tank, it can be divided into steel tanker and aluminum tanker. Aluminum alloy tankers first appeared in the United States in the late 1920s. In the beginning, there were only aluminum alloy single tankers. In the 1940s, aluminum alloy semi-trailers appeared. In the 1960s, the tank shape of aluminum alloy tankers was more reasonable, and elliptical linear tanks began to appear. In the 1970s, due to the oil crisis and other reasons, aluminum alloy tankers received rapid development.

5182 aluminum is Al-Mg series anti-rust aluminum. The performance of 5182 aluminum plate is similar to that of 5A02, but because the magnesium content is slightly higher than that of 5A02, and a small amount of silicon is added, its weldability is better than that of 5A02.

5182 aluminum plate is one of the best-selling products on the market. It has a flat shape, good corrosion resistance, excellent cold processing performance, medium strength, high tensile strength and yield strength.

5182 aluminum sheet is a kind of aluminum alloy specially developed for road tankers for storing and transporting dangerous goods. It complies with the latest ADR (Agreement on the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road) regulations. Using this material, the minimum thickness can reach 4mm when making a tank with a diameter of less than 1.8 meters; when making a tank with a diameter greater than 1.8 meters, the minimum thickness can reach 5mm, which has superior quality and safety performance. 5182 Aluminum is suitable for various welding methods, like TIG, MIG and EBW (electron beam welding).
