Aluminum plate for automobile fuel tank

Aluminum sheet for automobile fuel tank

With the mass production of automobiles, the problems of how to save energy and fuel, improve functions, save materials and reduce costs have arisen. Take automobile fuel tanks as an example. The use of good materials for fuel tank aluminum sheets can save materials if they are used for a long time.

In addition, the price of aluminum alloy is relatively higher than that of other materials. Therefore, the use of 5052 aluminum alloy sheets for fuel tank aluminum sheets is both energy-saving and environmentally friendly and can be used for a long time.

Comparison of aluminum sheet alloys for automobile fuel tanks

Advantages of aluminum sheet for automobile fuel tank

1. Excellent corrosion resistance, effectively avoiding the generation of impurities

Aluminum alloy fuel tanks have excellent corrosion resistance and can remain rust-free for a long time under appropriate conditions of use. For vehicles with high fuel consumption and strict fuel quality requirements, such as large buses and heavy trucks, aluminum alloy fuel tanks have become the first choice, and their market share in the heavy truck fuel tank market has exceeded 80%.

2. Lightweight design, in line with automobile development trends

While maintaining body strength and safety performance, major automobile manufacturers are committed to lightweighting their vehicles. Aluminum alloys are lighter than traditional iron materials, so more and more parts are made of aluminum alloys, such as aluminum alloy wheels and gas tanks. Aluminum alloy fuel tanks will also be increasingly used in the truck field.

3. Beautiful and elegant, aluminum alloy material is superior

The appearance of the aluminum alloy fuel tank does not need to be sprayed. The silver appearance is simple and beautiful, which not only simplifies the spraying process in the production process, but also is easy to be accepted by users. Compared with iron materials, aluminum alloys have better extensibility and are less likely to break during collision.

4. Mature technology and broad market prospects

At present, the aluminum technology is very mature, the production process is environmentally friendly and has a long service life. At the same time, aluminum materials can be recycled and reused, and the recycling rate of aluminum alloy fuel tanks after scrapping is as high as more than 85%. Major manufacturers are actively promoting aluminum alloy fuel tanks. This industry is booming and gradually dominates the development trend of the fuel tank market.

5. Recyclability

Aluminum is a fully recyclable material, which means old aluminum fuel tanks can be recycled and reused, benefiting the environment. Aluminum materials can be recycled, and the recycling rate after scrap is as high as more than 85%.

Of course, aluminum fuel tanks also have some disadvantages, such as the relatively high cost and the fact that aluminum may be subject to certain types of corrosion under certain extreme conditions. In addition, due to the good thermal conductivity of aluminum, additional insulation measures may be required in high temperature environments.

If you want to choose aluminum sheet to make a fuel tank, you need to consider the specific specifications of the aluminum sheet, such as thickness, alloy composition, etc. Commonly used aluminum alloys include 5000 series (such as 5083), 6000 series (such as 6061), etc. These alloys have good strength and corrosion resistance. For specific project requirements, it is recommended to consult a professional material supplier or manufacturer for the best advice.
