Aluminum Sheet for Heavy Truck Air Reservoir

Overweight has always been a problem in special vehicles, so the vehicle manufacturers have tried their best to get an lightweight chassis and has been very careful about the choice of raw materials. For example, the engine housing, gearbox, fuel tank, gas tank and other parts can be made of lightweight aluminum, which can reduce the weight of the chassis.

The air reservoir is a gas storage device in the automobile braking system. It is used to store the gas compressed by the air compressor and is used in multiple systems such as automobile braking and whistle. Aluminum air reservoirs have good corrosion resistance, light weight, high safety factor, easy processing, good surface cleanliness, and long service life. Therefore, they are widely used in automobile air reservoirs.

5052 aluminum sheet is often used to make air reservoirs. It can be welded easily without any complications or special procedures. Common welding techniques include metal inert gas shielded welding and tungsten inert gas shielded welding. The durability and strength of 5052 aluminum are also comparable. Although there are many other aluminum alloys with high strength and toughness, it is also a good choice in many cases.

The magnesium content of 5052 aluminum plate is between 2.2-2.8%, and the tensile strength is 170-305MPa. Compared with 5454 aluminum plate, it has a wider range of uses, especially in the construction industry. It is also commonly used in automobile fuel tanks, oil pipes, transportation vehicles, ship sheet metal parts, mechanical instruments, hardware and electrical appliances, etc. In addition, there is a certain difference in the price of the two.

5083 aluminum sheet is high-quality aluminum alloy, belonging to the Al-Mg alloy series, mainly used for gas storage devices in automobile brake systems. The common specifications of 5083 aluminum alloy gas cylinders are: 2.88 mm thick and 860-1500mm thick. This material easily forms a dense and firm aluminum oxide (AL2O3) protective film on its surface, which can well protect the substrate from corrosion, thereby extending its service life.
