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.
