Aluminum plate products for pressure vessels
-
Aluminum plate for pressure vessel shell
Aluminum plates, strong and corrosion-resistant, are key for pressure vessel shells. They undergo stamping, bending, welding, and for larger containers, multiple plates are welded together, demanding higher standards.
-
Aluminum plate for gas cylinder
Aluminum plates excel in drawing, stamping, and processing, ideal for manufacturing gas cylinders via processes like stamping and stretching. Gas cylinders require materials with high strength and plasticity due to their thin walls.
-
Forged flanges for pressure vessel linking
Forged flanges, with high strength and rigidity, ensure safety and sealing in pressure vessel connections under high pressure and heavy loads. Formed via heating and applying pressure to aluminum plates, they attain desired sizes and shapes.
-
Heads for pressure vessels
The pressure vessel head is the end cap, a key pressure-bearing component responsible for sealing and preventing internal medium leakage. Aluminum plates are formed using stamping, spinning, welding, and other methods.
