5454 Grade Aluminum Sheet for Tank Truck

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. In the 1970s, due to the oil crisis and other reasons, aluminum alloy tankers received rapid development.

Aluminum alloy tanker has the characteristics of light weight, larger load, lower operating cost, good corrosion resistance, good wear resistance, long service life, good electrical conductivity, safety, environmental protection and energy saving. Therefore, the popularity of aluminum tank trucks has far-reaching economic and social benefits.

5000 series Al-Mg sheet is mainly used in cylinders, heads and bulkhead of tank trucks after welding, wrapping or rolling. 5454 grade aluminum can adapt to harsh corrosive environment. It is a typical anti-rust aluminum with high strength, about 20% higher than 5052 aluminum plate.

5454 aluminum plate has all states such as O state, H12, H14, etc. In terms of performance, it is not only high in strength and corrosion resistance, but also has good plasticity and good formability.

The production of tank car body has high requirements on this raw material and processing technology such as good corrosion resistance and high processing performance,strong pressure resistance, etc. 5454 aluminum can satisfy these requirements and can be bent, stamped and stretched. More importantly, it can be used in high temperature environment, or transport high temperature liquid.

The solid solubility of Mg in Al is second only to that of Zn, with a limit solubility of 17.4% at 470 °C and only about 1% at room temperature. In theory, Al-Mg alloy should have strong age hardening effect, but due to the limitation of intergranular precipitation and dispersion of solid β phase (Al3Mg2), this hardening effect has no practical value, so 5454 alloy cannot be strengthened by heat treatment.
