The Use of Machining 5083 Aluminum in Fuel Tanker

It is often seen various fuel tankers on the road. A fuel tanker is a transport vehicle with a tank-shaped body, which is used to transport various liquids, liquefied gases, and powdery goods. These goods include gasoline, crude oil, various viscous oils, vegetable oil, liquid ammonia, wine, water, various acid and alkali liquids, etc.

The machining 5083 aluminium has good corrosion resistance and stable chemical composition, and is suitable for all kinds of tanker trucks. The application of 5083 aluminum plate to the tanker body can reduce the weight of each vehicle by 3-5 tons, thereby reducing the inertia of the body. While improving transportation efficiency, it can also achieve the effect of energy saving and emission reduction, and has obvious advantages in traffic safety.

5083 aluminum plate is the so-called aluminum-magnesium high-alloy high-strength aluminum plate in the aluminum processing industry. It is widely used in marine ships, automobiles, aircraft welding parts, subway light rail, fire-resistant pressure vessels (such as liquid tank cars, refrigerated cars, refrigerated containers), drilling equipment.

The magnesium (Mg) content of 5083 aluminum plate can reach between 4.0% and 4.9%. Usually, the middle value is 4.5% in the production process, so 5083 aluminum plate is also called Almg4.5 aluminum alloy. 5083 aluminum plate has good formability and is easy to turn and anodizing.

5083 aluminum sheet can store liquid materials very well. The 5083 aluminum plate itself has good corrosion resistance, which can well avoid the storage of liquid materials to cause the tank to be prone to rust and corrosion, and can well extend the service life of the tank.

We provide the extra-wide aluminum plate. The aluminum plates used for the tank body of the oil tanker are all ultra-wide aluminum plates. Such ultra-wide aluminum plates do not require too much welding, which can reduce the possibility of leakage due to improper welding.

5053 aluminum sheet is a recyclable material. If the tank body needs to be replaced due to abnormalities later, the original tank body can be recycled, which can save costs to a certain extent.

As one of the big 5083 aluminum sheet suppliers, Haomei Aluminum offers different sizes of aluminum sheets for tanker truck manufacturing. Welcome to leave message below to inquire what you need.
