The High Processing Requirements of Aluminium Wide Plate for Tankers
The wide application of aluminum alloys in commercial vehicles, especially in tankers, has accelerated the pace of commercial vehicles in Europe and North America. Except for a few special chemicals for transportation, almost all tank trucks in Europe and the United States are made of aluminum alloy, with a market share of more than 90%.
5083 aluminum is the main aluminum plate for tankers, featuring high strength, corrosion resistance, good workability, and excellent arc welding performance. The length of the aluminum plate for tank body is usually within 12.5 meter, and the width is less than 2.2 meters. Aluminum 5083 h111 is for the tanker cylinder and 5083-O plate is for the head, bulkhead and baffle.
The chose 5083 aluminum sheet belong to aluminum wide plate. Compared with other types of aluminum plate, aluminum wide plate has special performance and strict requirements for production equipment. It is generally believed that the width of more than 1500mm is called aluminum wide plate and the width of more than 2000mm is called ultra-wide aluminum plate.
Since the production requirements for aluminum wide plate are very high, not any manufacturer can produce them. In terms of production equipment, aluminum wide plate has relatively high requirements for the width of the rolling range, which cannot be met by general equipment.
There are higher requirements for the production capacity of aluminum sheet manufacturers. It must keep stable performance in a wide range. At present, the commonly used aluminum wide sheets are 5xxx and 6xxxaluminum.
At present, large tank trucks are undergoing the transition from steel to aluminum. The carrying capacity of the tank body is also relatively large. Taking the oil tanker as an example. The volume of a small oil tanker is 3000L-5000L, which is used for small-amount distribution and is used in factories and construction sites. The volume of ordinary fuel tank trucks is mostly around 18000-23000L, used in general gas stations or large factories.
The volume of large oil tanker is generally around 40,000L, which is generally used for oil product distribution in large gas stations. At present, more than 90% of the aluminum plates used for oil tankers and other tankers are welded with 5083 aluminum wide plate.
