tanker aluminum plate application

Advantages of aluminum oil tank trucks

Compared to traditional carbon steel tank cars, aluminum alloy materials have many advantages, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

  • The density of aluminum alloy is only about one-third of that of steel, and the use of aluminum alloy can greatly reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, improve the load capacity and fuel efficiency.
  • The surface of aluminum alloy forms an oxide film, which can prevent corrosion and directly ensure the transportation quality of oil products.
  • The use of aluminum alloy tanks is beneficial for conducting static electricity and reducing the probability of accidents.
  • Aluminum alloy is lightweight, high-strength, and ductile, which can reduce inertial impact during collisions and absorb collision energy, improving collision safety.

Common problems and solutions during the use of aluminum tanker plates

1. Tank trucks often transport highly corrosive liquids and chemicals. What should be done if the tank body corrodes?

Tanker plates are usually made of 5000 series corrosion-resistant alloys and coated appropriately to improve corrosion resistance. So when choosing aluminum plate supplier, tank truck manufacturers must pay attention to the strict compliance of aluminum plates with quality standards, and selecting aluminum plate manufacturers with surface treatment processes capacity in order to provide overall project solutions.

2. How to avoid the problem of excessive processing and cracking on the tank car board?

Aluminum is prone to stress corrosion cracking, especially when exposed to high stress levels and in contact with corrosive substances. The Chalco cold rolling project adopts German Sigma six high cold rolling mill, the width of aluminum plate can reach 2650mm and the thickness up to 500mm. It eliminates internal stress and does not deform during cutting, effectively avoiding cracking problems.

3. How to choose aluminum tank plates for food product?

A very important application of tank trucks is to transport food, such as milk etc., which has higher requirements for aluminum plates and the plate must meet food safety standards. Chalco can supply food grade 5083 aluminum plates, which meet Rosh, SGS and other standards. We welcome your consultation and cooperation.

4. Need welding and CNC processing?

Welding, cutting, stamping, and rolling forming are all important steps in the production and processing of aluminum plates. Chalco not only provides tank car aluminum plates, but also provides additional services such as welding, cutting, and CNC processing, providing overall solutions for customer projects.
