In Europe and the United States, 80% of semi-trailers are aluminum alloys, and in Japan, the market share of aluminum alloy semi-trailers even exceeds 90%. Compared with steel trailers, aluminum alloy trailers can effectively achieve overall lightweight of the vehicle, improve load-bearing performance, and improve transportation efficiency; in addition, when loading the same weight of goods and operating the same route, aluminum alloy trailers achieve excellent fuel economy due to their light weight.

Al-Mn series, Al-Mg series, and Al-Mg2Si series alloys are commonly used materials for aluminum alloy powder tank semi-trailers. 5083-O and 5083 h112 has a sufficient market practice basis as a tank material for powder tank trucks.

A van semi-trailer is a type of semi-trailer. It adopts a van structure, with wheels only at the rear end of the vehicle, and the front end is mounted on the traction seat of the tractor through a coupling device. It has no power device itself, but has the advantages of a van and the flexibility of a semi-trailer, and can better achieve the mutual coordination between the transport tool and the goods.

It is understood that aluminum alloy van semi-trailers refer to semi-trailers that are all made of aluminum except for the axle, suspension device, and traction device. Through the use of aluminum alloy materials and the optimization of automobile structure, the purpose of increasing the volume of semi-trailers, improving transportation efficiency and saving transportation costs has been achieved. The alloys used are mainly 6061, 6082, 6351, 6005, 6063 and 6060.

5754 aluminum can be used to make tank truck bodies and bulkhead of the fuel tank semi trailers, 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.

5754 aluminum alloy is a typical Al-Mg alloy containing 2.6-3.6% magnesium. The addition of magnesium causes Mg2Si in the matrix to precipitate to provide strengthening. The common tempers are 5754 h111 aluminum, and 5754 H22, H12, H14, H114, etc.
