5454 Aluminum Sheet for Tanker Truck

5454 alloy is a wrought aluminum-magnesium alloy. It is closely related to 5154 aluminum alloy. It combines medium to high strength with excellent weldability. Like 5154, 5454 aluminum is commonly used in welded structures such as pressure vessels and ships. 5454 h32 aluminum is a common temper.

As a wrought alloy, it can be formed by rolling, extruding, and forging (although forging is uncommon), but not cast. Cold working increases strength but reduces ductility. Its other names include 3.3537, N51, and A95454.

5454 aluminum sheet is a popular choice for making special vehicles. The special vehicles can be divided into six categories: general-purpose vans, special transport vehicles, refrigerated vehicles, civil engineering vehicles, environmental protection vehicles, and service vehicles for different purposes.

The classification of special vehicles is not completely independent, but the same technology can be applied to different types of vehicles, such as lifting devices are widely used in various vehicles.

The aluminum alloy load tankers made of 5454 alloy are suitable for use under high temperature conditions. The wear resistance of the surface makes it the best material for powder tank cars. The aluminum-magnesium alloy has better corrosion resistance and ensures the strength of the material, making the internal temperature of the aluminum tank car more stable and the quality guaranteed.

The aluminization of special vehicles has huge potential for energy saving and emission reduction. Most of the car bodies of special vehicles can be made of aluminum plates and profiles, of which the amount of aluminum plates accounts for more than 75%.

There are usually 8 types of general-purpose vans: wing-shaped, side-opening, one with lifting equipment, lift-type rear-opening, one with automatic loading and unloading devices, self-unloading, body detachable and flat-bed.

The wing-shaped van is the representative of the van, and it dominates. When the doors on both sides are opened, it is shaped like wings, so it gets this name. There are both manual, hydraulic and electric door opening methods for wing-shaped vans.
