Application of 5 series aluminum plate on tanker

There are many types of tank trucks. Common natural gas tank trucks, oil tank trucks, powder tank trucks, and most of the tank trucks are composed of two parts: the tank body and the underframe. The tank body of the tank truck is a horizontal cylinder structure. The cylinder part is welded by upper plate, bottom plate and end plate. Aluminum alloys are widely used in the field of aluminum tank cars because of their light weight, good corrosion resistance, weldability, electrical conductivity, long product life, low maintenance costs, and high recycling value. At present, there are mainly three alloys of aluminum plates for tank cars: 5083 aluminum plate, 5182 aluminum plate, and 5754 aluminum plate, and different alloys are used in different parts.

The length of the commonly used tanker aluminum plates in the market is generally within 12.5 meters, the width is less than 2.2 meters, and the common thickness is generally 5, 6, 7, 8mm. A complete tanker body generally requires 4-6 aluminum plates to be welded. Which parts of the 5 series aluminum plate are used on the tank car?

5083 aluminum alloy aluminum tank truck is the most widely used aluminum tank truck in China. The main element is magnesium, which has good welding performance, corrosion resistance and processing performance, medium strength, and is used to manufacture liquid tankers such as oil tankers.

The 5182 aluminum alloy aluminum tank truck is a new type of high magnesium alloy tank truck specially created for the European Road Transport of Dangerous Goods Agreement in recent years. Its tensile strength and elongation are relatively high, and it is welded with 5182 aluminum alloy, and the mechanical properties in the weld can reach the minimum value specified for the base metal. The excellent quality of 5182 alloy improves the safety of aluminum tank trucks. And the thickness of the aluminum tank car is 0.5-1mm lower than that of the 5083 alloy when the diameter is the same.

5754 alloy aluminum tank car is an aluminum-magnesium alloy tank car suitable for use under high temperature conditions. The wear resistance of the surface makes it the best material for powder tank cars. Magnesium alloy has better corrosion resistance and ensures the strength of the material, making the internal temperature of the aluminum tank car more stable and the quality guaranteed.

How much is the price of 5 series alloy aluminum plate for tanker?

There are many types of aluminum plate alloys for tank cars, and the models of aluminum alloys are different, and the product prices are different; the product specifications are different, and the prices are different. The quotation of aluminum sheet manufacturers is generally the price of aluminum ingots plus processing fees. The user provides the specific product thickness, width, and length required, and the business will give a reasonable quotation.
