Tanker is a tank-shaped transport vehicle, used to transport various liquids, liquefied gases and powdered goods, such as gasoline, crude oil, various viscous oils, vegetable oils, liquid ammonia, wine, water, various acids Alkali liquid, cement lead oxide powder, etc. In view of the superior performance of the aluminum alloy tank car in terms of economy, environmental protection and safety. Alloy aluminum plate has become the choice of tank car material. The commonly used materials are 5083 aluminum plate, 5754 aluminum plate, 5454 aluminum plate and 5182 aluminum plate.
With the mass production of tank cars, problems such as how to save energy and fuel, improve functions, save materials and reduce costs have arisen. Take the fuel tank of a tanker as an example, the fuel tank plate uses good materials, and long-term use is to save materials, and the price of aluminum alloy has a higher advantage compared with other materials, so the 5052 aluminum alloy plate used for the fuel tank plate is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. It can also be used for a long time.
5182 tank truck aluminum plate is a new type of high-magnesium alloy tank truck specially designed for road transportation of dangerous goods in recent years. Its tensile strength and elongation are relatively high, and it is welded with 5182 aluminum alloy, and the mechanical properties in the weld can reach the minimum value specified for the base metal. The excellent quality of the 5182 alloy plate improves the safety of the aluminum alloy tanker.
Aluminum plate for tank partition, 5754 aluminum plate for tank car. The aluminum alloy semi-trailer tank truck has lighter weight and higher payload. By reducing the weight of the vehicle body and increasing the payload, transporting the same amount of goods can reduce the number of shifts of the vehicle. Aluminum alloy semi-trailer tank trucks have better fuel efficiency, lower carbon dioxide emissions, and are more environmentally friendly. Longer service life of aluminum alloy semi-trailer truck: strong corrosion resistance, 15-20 years is the typical service life of aluminum alloy semi-trailer truck.
The liquefaction temperature of natural gas is -162°C, and the volume of liquefied natural gas (LNG for short) is 1/600 of the gaseous state, which makes the material requirements for LNG storage tanks higher. Among them, most of the aluminum alloys used for LNG storage tanks are 5 series 5083 aluminum plates. Good plasticity, easy processing, excellent formability. Strong weldability, gas welding, arc welding, contact spot welding and wire welding are all available. It has anti-skid, anti-rust function and strong anti-corrosion performance.
The aluminum alloy tank truck is made of aluminum alloy, which makes its self-weight lighter. By reducing the self-weight, the payload of the whole vehicle can be increased. The weight of a single transported cargo is 18%-35% more than that of a carbon steel tank truck.
The chemical properties of the aluminum alloy are stable, and the corrosion resistance of the aluminum alloy is more than 70% higher than that of ordinary carbon steel. The enhanced corrosion resistance greatly reduces the related maintenance costs of the tank.
From the appearance point of view, the appearance of the aluminum alloy tank truck is more beautiful, and it does not need to be painted and is easy to clean.
The excellent characteristics of aluminum alloy make the service life of the aluminum alloy oil tank truck longer. The old aluminum alloy tank with good maintenance can also be used on the new chassis. Even if the tank is scrapped, it has a high recycling value.
5xxx series aluminum sheets are commonly used materials for tank trucks
