Aluminium Sheet for Tanker

At present, aluminum alloy is widely used in manufacturing common oil tankers worldwide, offering incomparable advantages in economic benefits, social benefits, safety, and environmental protection. Aluminum sheets applicable to tanker bodies are mainly from the 5000 series: the 5000 series is aluminum-magnesium alloy, with main grades including 5052, 5083, 5754. The most critical part of the tank body uses 5083 H111 aluminum sheet, while both sides of the tank cover adopt 5083-O state sheets (O temper is softer for bending forming), and the partition parts also use 5083-O state. Additionally, some manufacturers use 5454 H111 aluminum sheets for tank production.

Overview

  Tankers are tank - shaped vehicles for transporting liquids, liquefied gases and powdered goods,such as gasoline, crude oil, various viscous oils, vegetable oils, etc. In view of the superior performance of the aluminum alloy tank car in terms of economy, environmental protection and safety. Alloy aluminum plate has become the choice of tank car material. The commonly used materials are 5083 aluminum plate, 5754 aluminum plate, 5454 aluminum plate and 5182 aluminum plate.

Feature

1.Light weight
  Aluminum alloy tank trucks are lightweight as they are made of aluminum alloy. Their lighter weight, with aluminum having a density only 1/3 of steel, enables an 18%-35% increase in single - transported cargo payload compared to carbon steel tank trucks. This also reduces vehicle body weight, cutting fuel consumption and emissions, achieving energy - saving, emission - reduction goals and enhancing the vehicle's performance through automotive lightweighting.​
2.Good corrosion resistance
  Aluminum alloy has stable chemical properties and over 70% higher corrosion resistance than ordinary carbon steel. A dense oxide film on its surface reduces maintenance costs.
3.Service life
  Aluminum alloy’s excellent characteristics lengthen the service life to at least 15 years without preservative treatment. Well - maintained old tank bodies can be used on new chassis, and scrapped ones have a high recovery value.
4.High security
  Aluminum alloy have the good ductility, not easy to crack when collision. Good electrical conducivity, won't produce instantaneous discharge. When collision or tilting, can not produce sparks, Eliminate the potential safely hazard, more suitable for oil transportation.

 

Application

  Aluminum alloy tanker material is mainly used in the cylinder, head, bulkhead, anti-wave plate, flange, wing plate and other parts.
