Premium 5083 Aluminum Plate for Oil Tanker Applications and Structural Solutions

5083 aluminum plate primarily contains magnesium, offering good weldability, corrosion resistance, and fabrication properties. Its moderate strength makes it very suitable for manufacturing tank trucks for liquids. These characteristics position the 5083 aluminum plate as one of the preferred materials for aluminum tankers.Welcome to Contact

The body of a tank truck consists of components such as side panels, wave breakers, and tank openings. The tank body typically uses 5083 H111 aluminum plate, while the tank lid and internal partitions use the softer 5083-O aluminum plate for easier bending.

The width of aluminum plates for tank trucks is less than 2.2 meters, with common thicknesses of 5, 6, 7, and 8 mm. A complete tank body usually requires 4 to 6 aluminum plates welded together. Therefore, welding performance is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity and seal of the tank body.

Durability and Low Maintenance Costs: The Economic Benefits of Aluminum Tankers

First, aluminum alloy tank trucks excel in safety, boasting a solid accident record. Their low center of gravity enhances braking stability, and the use of non-combustible materials reduces the risks of sparks and static electricity buildup. Additionally, the lighter weight of aluminum alloy bodies allows for higher effective payloads, which can decrease the number of transport trips and improve return on investment.

In terms of fuel efficiency, aluminum alloy tank trucks help lower carbon dioxide emissions, making them more environmentally friendly. Their strong corrosion resistance ensures a lifespan of 15 to 20 years, while maintenance costs remain low, as they do not require painting and have a durable appearance that is easy to clean. Finally, the high recyclability of aluminum provides additional revenue after the truck is decommissioned.Click to order

Aluminum Sheet Plate Procurement Guide

1. 5083 Aluminum Sheet Plate Weight

The weight of an aluminum sheet is calculated based on its length, width, and density. For instance, the density of 5083 aluminum alloy is 2.8g/cm³. The formula to calculate weight is:

Weight = Length (mm) × Width (mm) × Thickness (mm) × Density (2.8g/cm³)

This formula allows for accurate estimation of the aluminum sheet's weight, helping customers determine logistics costs and container space requirements.

2. 5083 Aluminum Sheet Plate Price

The FOB price of an aluminum sheet is typically based on the daily LME aluminum ingot price plus processing fees, adjusted according to exchange rates. We offer pricing in USD, EUR, or CNY as per the customer's preference. Customers can choose to customize aluminum sheets based on their specific needs or make quick purchases from our available inventory.
