Alloy 5083 Aluminum Plate for Tankers

At present, most tank truck manufacturers mainly use alloy 5083 as tank materials. 5083 (O/H111) aluminum sheets have a sufficient market practice basis as powder tanker tank materials in European powder tankers.

Aluminium aw 5083 can store liquid materials very well. 5083 aluminum plates themselves have good corrosion resistance, which can well avoid rust and corrosion of the tank body caused by storing liquid materials, and can well extend the service life of the tank body. Extra-wide aluminum plates do not require too much welding, which can reduce the possibility of leakage due to inadequate welding.

Among them, the tank body uses 5083H111 aluminum plate, the tank heads on both sides need to be bent, and use 5083-O aluminum plate, and the baffles use 5083-O. A tank truck usually uses 4-6 pieces of super-wide aluminum plates.

The width of the commonly used 5083 ultra-wide aluminum plate in the market is 2.2M, and the thickness is 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, and 8mm. The 5083 ultra-wide aluminum plate produced by the six-high cold rolling mill introduced by Haomei Aluminum can reach a maximum width of 2600mm, with stable performance and meeting the requirements of tank truck aluminum plates.

5182 alloy is the latest high magnesium alloy tank truck designed specifically for the European dangerous goods road transport agreement in recent years. Its tensile strength and elongation are relatively high. When 5182 aluminum alloy is used for welding, the mechanical properties in welding can reach the minimum value specified for the base metal. The excellent quality of 5182 alloy plate improves the safety of aluminum alloy tank trucks.

5182 aluminum sheet belongs to Al-Mg series rust-proof aluminum, which has good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties and excellent weldability. Since the tank truck will be exposed to various chemical substances during transportation, the material of the bulkhead must have good corrosion resistance. 5182 aluminum plate can effectively resist the corrosion of chemical substances such as petroleum in the tank truck, ensuring the long-term use of the tank truck.
