Why Are 5083 and 5059 Aluminum Plates Used for Tanker Truck
With the continuous increase in automobiles and commercial vehicles, the use of 5083 aluminum plates is also accelerating. 5083 aluminum alloy is mainly used in lightweight aluminum for automobiles, shipbuilding, LNG tanks, gis shells, flange,etc. Among them, aluminum for LNG tanks and ships is mostly 5083 aluminum plate medium and thick plates. The thickness is basically above 6mm.
At present, most tanker truck manufacturers mainly use 5083 aluminum alloy sheet as the material of the tank body due to good aluminum 5083 properties. 5083 aluminum is a high-quality Al-Mg alloy. Its main alloying element is magnesium, which has good corrosion resistance, light weight, good cold processing, and medium strength.
In the tank industry, compared with steel, the same thickness of 5083 aluminum plate has a corrosion resistance of up to 15 years. The same size of tank body has a weight reduction of about 25%, which reduces fuel consumption, achieves energy conservation and emission reduction, and greatly increases the service life of the vehicle.
The main features of 5083-H116 aluminum plate are low density, high tensile strength and high elongation. The weight of aluminum-magnesium alloy is lower than that of other alloy series under the same area. Due to its complex processing technology, the performance achieved requires high technical and equipment requirements, so the price of 5083-H116 aluminum plate is generally higher.
5059 alloy also belongs to Al-Mg alloy with high strength, high plasticity and corrosion resistance, good weldability and low crack tendency. With its unique advantages, it is widely used in special tankers for dangerous goods such as petrochemicals.
5059 is an aluminum alloy with high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and heat resistance. It has high strength, especially after heat treatment, it can obtain higher strength and hardness. 5059 aluminum alloy can be heat treated in O, T6 and other states. The strength is highest in the T6 state, but the toughness is poor. Welcome to inquire what you need from us.
