What Can Aluminum Tanker Plate Manufacturer Offer

 Ordinary fuel tank trucks generally use carbon steel as the material to make tank bodies. Although the production cost of aluminum alloy load tanker will increase, its has much more advantages and better performance.

Aluminum tanker refers to the tanker or semi-trailer made of aluminum alloy or pure aluminum. In fact, aluminum alloy tankers appeared in Europe and the United States as early as the 1920s. According to statistics, there are 7,000-10,000 transport vehicles in the United States each year using aluminum tanker plate.

The light tank body can improve the performance of the tanker. The specific gravity of aluminum is about 1/3 of that of steel. Compared with ordinary carbon steel tanker, aluminum alloy tanker has anti-corrosion function and can be loaded with corrosive materials. This is another major feature of aluminum alloy tanker.

Aluminum sheet for tank truck has the advantage of good corrosion resistance, which is more obvious in tanks that mainly transport strongly corrosive items. According to the experience of Europe and North America, the life cycle of an aluminum alloy tank is generally 15-20 years. The life span of steel tanks is only 7-9 years.

At the same time, because the aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance, the aluminum alloy tank body can maintain a bright and beautiful surface, so it does not require any coating or surface treatment, and the maintenance cost of the aluminum alloy tanker is quite small.

The tank body is an important part of the tank truck. Generally, aluminium 5083 h111 is used. In addition, some manufacturers use 5454H111 aluminum plate to produce the tank body. The tank head on both sides and the bulkheads are made of 5083-O aluminum plate. In addition to 5083 and 5454, we also have other aluminum plates for tankers, including 5182, 5754 and 5059. Welcome to leave message below to inquire what you need.

Marine grade aluminum sheet: 5083-H111 VS 5083-H321

 5083 marine grade aluminium sheet belongs to 5xxx Al-Mg alloy. It is a typical anti-rust aluminum plate with good corrosion resistance, excellent weldability and good cold workability. Its main tempers are O, H12, H14, H16, H18, H19, H22, H24, H26 , H28, H32, H34, H36, H38, H111, H112, H114, H116, H321, etc. The common ones are H112, H116 and H321. It is widely used in the production of the tank body, automobile fuel tanks, bus body panel, ship building,etc.

The H temper is a common temper of the finished aluminum sheet, which means that the aluminum sheet has undergone work hardening treatment to increase the strength. The H temper is a state with many subdivisions. Aluminum plates of the same specification and the same alloy also has different performances with different tempers.

Aluminum 5083 H111 is the aluminum plate with a magnesium content over 4.0%. It has the required mechanical properties and spalling corrosion resistance. Its tensile strength (MPa) is higher than 305 Mpa, conditional yield strength(Mpa) is over 215MPa, elongation 10(%) is larger than 20 and elongation (5%) is higher than 12.

Aluminum 5083 H321 refers to a processing method in which 5083 aluminum sheet is hardened and subjected to low temperature heat treatment, or directly heated during processing, so as to obtain stable mechanical properties. Its tensile strength (250℃) is 275-350, yield strength is 210, harness is 65 and elongation is 16. It is not difficult to find that the 5083 h321 aluminum plate has high strength and excellent welding performance.

More importantly, 5083-h321 aluminum has excellent corrosion performance than the 5052 aluminum sheet. Even in rivers and seas, 5052 aluminum plates are easily corroded. Therefore, 5083-h321 aluminum plate is widely used in the deck of yachts, grain ships, fishing boats, work boats, sand ships and other ships, as well as components such as engine pedestals, ship sides, and outer plate of the ship bottom.
