Why Are 5754 and 5083 Aluminum Sheets for Making Tank Truck

5754 aluminum alloy is a typical Al-Mg alloy containing 2.6-3.6% magnesium. Commonly used tempers are 5754-H111 and 5754h14. Al 5754 has high strength resistance, excellent atmospheric and marine corrosion resistance, excellent weldability and anodizing effect.

The magnesium content of 5754 aluminum plate is higher than that of 5052, and the silicon content is also higher than that of 5052. It is superior to 5052 in strength and corrosion resistance, so 5754 aluminum plate cannot be replaced by 5052 aluminum plate in certain industries.

5754 aluminum coil can be used to make tank truck bodies and bulkhead, which can reduce the weight of tank trucks, increase load capacity, reduce fuel consumption, and reduce exhaust emissions. Moreover, 5754 aluminum plate has strong corrosion resistance and can greatly extend the service life of tank trucks, so it is favored by the canning industry.

With the continuous increase in automobiles and commercial vehicles, the use of 5083 aluminum plates is also accelerating. 5083 (O/H111) material has a sufficient market practice basis as a powder tanker tank material in European powder tankers.

Aluminum for tank truck bodies is a very important application field. For tank trucks that transport liquids, gases and other substances, the use of aluminum alloys can effectively reduce the weight of the body and improve transportation efficiency and safety. 5083 aluminum alloy is a high-strength, high-toughness aluminum alloy material with good corrosion resistance and easy processing. It is a good choice for aluminum for tank truck bodies.

5083 aluminum plate is generally used for the tank body, tank head and bulkhead. The tank body uses 5083-H111 aluminum plate, and the tank head and bulkheads on both sides use 5083-O aluminum plate.5083 h111 mechanical properties are very good, known for exceptional performance in extreme environments.

The magnesium alloy content of 5754 aluminum sheet is about 3%, while that of 5083 aluminum sheet is as high as about 4.5%. At the same time, the hardness of 5083 aluminum sheet is higher than that of 5754 aluminum sheet. Of course, the price of 5083 aluminum sheet is also higher. Customers can choose 5754 aluminum sheet or 5083 aluminum sheet according to their actual needs.
