5052 aluminum alloy is the most widely used rust proof aluminum. This alloy has high strength, especially fatigue
resistance: high plasticity and corrosion resistance, cannot be strengthened by heat treatment, good plasticity during
semi-cold hardening, low plasticity during cold hardening, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, poor machinability,
and can be polished. It is mainly used for low-load parts that require high plasticity and good weldability and work in liquid
or gas media, such as oil tanks, gasoline or lubricating, various liquid containers.
Tank trucks are transport vehicles with a tank-shaped body used for carrying various liquids, liquefied gases,
powdered goods, etc. The body of an aluminum alloy tank truck consists of several parts, including side panels,
fenders, and tank openings.
The commonly used aluminum plates for tank trucks in the market are generally less than 12.5 meters in length
and less than 2.2 meters in width. The common thicknesses are 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, and 8mm. A complete tank body
of a tank truck usually requires the welding of 4-6 aluminum plates.
Aluminum Material Advantages than other material
Aluminum tanker trailers has much better fuel economy compared to tankers made from other material thanks
to its lightweight. Research done by European Aluminum Association shows that 0.6L of gasoline can be saved
for every ton and 10km. If traveling 12,000km a year, an aluminum tanker can reduce the dead weight of 5t compared
with a steel tank, and it will save at least 1800L of fuel annually.

performance.These products are used extensively in aerospace,defense and military,ship- building,storage & transportation,
automobile,railway transportation,package,chemical,engineering equipment, mould,construction building and other civlian
fields.
World Advanced Production Equipment
The final product quality is mainly based on slab quality.The advanced equipment and optimized process are adopted
to improve the quality of Aluminium alloy slab which can guarantee Aluminium alloy products at high-performance.
All the melting and holding furnaces are supplied by GAUTSCHI (Switzerland)Company.
1+1+4 hot rolling mills and 1+5 hot rolling mills from SMS Group Germany.All the hot finishing rolling mills
adopt the CVC flatness control technology, which can produce hot-rolled strips and coils with ideal flatness
and good shaping in the world.
6 sets of cold rolling mill (4 sets of single-stand mill and 2 sets of three-stand tandem mill)from SMS Group
Germany. All these mills are applied with SMS patent 6-High CVC technology and are the most advanced cold
rolling mills in the world currently. The cold rolling mills can produce aerospace sheet,can stock and automotive
sheets etc.
Transportation
Aluminum sheet for tank trailers normally have a oversize width, so we use platform flat container for the shipment.
