Alloy Aluminum Plate for Tank Truck

The use of alloy aluminum plates in tank truck body manufacturing is a future development trend. Using aluminum alloy aluminum plates to manufacture tank truck bodies can reduce the total weight of each vehicle by 3-5 tons on the original basis, thereby reducing the inertia of the body. The biggest advantage of alloy aluminum plates in the tank truck industry is to improve the efficiency of transportation and achieve the actual effect of energy saving and consumption reduction.

In Europe and the United States, 80% of semi-trailers are aluminum alloys, and in Japan, the market share of aluminum alloy semi-trailers even exceeds 90%. 5083-o and 5083 h111 have a sufficient market practice basis as a material for the tank body of a powder tanker in Europe.

5083 ultra-wide aluminum plate is the main alloy material for aluminum tank trucks. 5083 ultra-wide aluminum plate is widely used in tank trucks because tank trucks are generally longer, with a length of 4-12.5 meters. The wider the plate width, the more difficult it is to control the plate shape. The plate shape has a great influence on the surface quality of the plate and is the key to whether qualified products can be rolled. Ultra-thin thickness requires more precise control, which places extremely high demands on production. Haomei Aluminum can make it.

Among them, the can body uses 5083H111 aluminum plate, and the heads on both sides need to be bent, using 5083-O aluminum plate, which is softer in O temper. The bulkhead (wave-breaking plate) part uses 5083-O temper. Some manufacturers also use 5454H111 aluminum plate to produce the tanker body.

The tensile strength of 5454 aluminum sheet exceeds 215MPa, which is about 20% higher than that of 5052 aluminum sheet. Under harsh conditions, 5454 aluminum sheet exhibits excellent corrosion resistance. Due to its good ductility and high strength, 5454 aluminum sheet is widely used in fuel tanks, tank truck bodies, marine facility pipelines, automobile wheels and other fields, effectively reducing the weight of vehicles.

5454 aluminum is is an alloy commonly used in the manufacture of can bodies, and its use state is O or H111. The 5454 alloy has a high Mn content, so the homogenization process will inevitably affect the size of the Mn-containing phase, thereby affecting the mechanical properties of the sheet.

Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the performance of 5454 sheets under industrial mass production conditions, Haomei Aluminum adjusted the precipitation process of the Mn-containing phase during the homogenization of the 5454 alloy ingot and adjusted the alloy homogenization system to achieve stable product batch performance.
