The Main Aluminum Alloy for Tank Truck

The tank truck is a big kind of the commercial vehicles on the market. The types of tanker vehicles include oil tankers, cement tankers, natural gas tankers, and sprinklers. These large tank cars are undergoing a stage of transition from steel to aluminum. The main aluminum tanker plates are 5083, 5182, 5454, 5754 and 5059.

At present, most manufacturers mainly use 5083 aluminum plate. Its Mg content can reach between 4.0-4.9%. We usually choose 4.5% in the production process, so it is also called almg4 5mn0 7 h111. It has good welding performance, corrosion resistance and processing performance, and medium strength.

5184 aluminum is applicable for transporting high-temperature liquids. The magnesium content of 5454 aluminum sheets is 2.4-3.0%. It also contains a small amount of silicon, copper, zinc, manganese and other elements. The tensile strength is greater than 215MPa, which is about 20% higher than that of 5052 aluminum sheet.

It properties are roughly the same as that of 5154, but its corrosion resistance in harsh environments is better than that of 5154 aluminum plate. The 5454 aluminum sheet has excellent ductility and high strength. It is usually used in fields such as fuel tanks, tank truck cylinders, marine facility pipelines, and automobile wheels.

The 5182 aluminum has a tensile strength of 280MPa or more, a yield strength of 125 or more, and an elongation rate of more than 26%. It has reached the "European Agreement on the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR)" standards. In the case of the same loading quality, the wall thickness can be thinner.

Haomei Aluminum has all those aluminum alloys with super width and rich tempers. Welcome to leave message below to inquire what you need.
