A tank truck is a transport vehicle with a tank shaped body, used to transport various liquids, liquefied gases, and powdered goods. The body of an aluminum alloy tank truck is composed of multiple parts such as a fence, anti wave plate, and tank mouth.

The commonly used aluminum plates for tank trucks in the market are generally within 12.5 meters in length and less than 2.2 meters in width. The common thicknesses are 5, 6, 7, and 8mm. A complete tank truck body generally requires 4-6 aluminum plates to be welded together.

The tank body is made of 5083 H111 aluminum plate, and the tank covers on both sides need to be bent. 5083-O aluminum plate is used, which is softer in O state. The partition (anti wave plate) part is made of 5083-O state.

The main advantages of using 5083 aluminum plate to manufacture tank trucks include:

Lightweight: The density of 5083 aluminum plate is only 2.71g/cm ³, which is about one-third of that of steel. Therefore, using this material can significantly reduce the weight of tank trucks, thereby improving transportation efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

Corrosion resistance: 5083 aluminum plate has excellent corrosion resistance and can maintain stability in various harsh environments, extending the service life of tank trucks.

High strength and fatigue resistance: 5083 aluminum plate has high tensile strength and good fatigue resistance, which makes the tanker less prone to deformation or cracking during long-term use.

Good welding performance: Due to the ease of processing and welding of 5083 aluminum plate, the number of welding points can be reduced during the manufacturing process, reducing the risk of leakage.

Environmental protection and recyclability: Aluminum is a recyclable material, and tank trucks made of 5083 aluminum plates can be recycled and reused after being scrapped, reducing environmental pollution.

In addition, 5083 aluminum plate also has a beautiful appearance and excellent ductility, which not only improves the quality of products in tank truck manufacturing, but also enhances the overall aesthetics.

In summary, 5083 aluminum plate has been widely used in tank truck manufacturing due to its lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, good weldability, and environmental characteristics, and has become one of the important materials in modern tank truck manufacturing.
