“Tank truck aluminum plate” is a special aluminum alloy plate, which refers to the aluminum alloy plate used to manufacture the main structure or internal storage tanks of tank trucks (such as oil tank trucks, liquefied gas tank trucks, chemical transport tank trucks, etc.). This type of aluminum plate needs to have specific performance characteristics to meet the safety and durability requirements of tank trucks during transportation.
Tank truck is a transport vehicle with a tank-shaped body, used to carry various liquids, liquefied gases, powdery goods, etc. The body of the aluminum alloy tank truck is composed of side panels, fenders, tank mouth and other parts.
The aluminum plates commonly used for tank trucks on the market are generally less than 12.5 meters in length and less than 2.2 meters in width. Common thicknesses are 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, and 8mm. A complete tank truck body usually requires 4-6 aluminum plates welded together.

5083 | Al: 95.4%, Mg: 4.0%, Mn: 0.7%, Cr: 0.15% | Excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, and high strength-to-weight ratio. | Tank truck bodies and trailers due to its high strength and resistance to corrosion. |
5454 | Al: 95.3%, Mg: 2.7%, Mn: 0.7%, Cr: 0.12% | Good corrosion resistance, weldability, and high fatigue strength. | Tank truck bodies and trailers where high strength and corrosion resistance are required. |
5182 | Al: 95.2%, Mg: 0.9%, Mn: 0.5%, Fe: 0.35%, Si: 0.25%, Cr: 0.15% | Excellent weldability, formability, and corrosion resistance. | Tank truck bodies and trailers due to its formability and resistance to corrosion. |
5754 | Al: 97.6%, Mg: 2.6%, Mn: 0.3%, Cr: 0.2% | Good corrosion resistance, weldability, and high strength. | Tank truck bodies and trailers where high strength and corrosion resistance are required. |
6061 | Al: 97.9%, Mg: 0.6%, Si: 0.6%, Cu: 0.28%, Cr: 0.2% | Good corrosion resistance, weldability, and high strength. | Tank truck bodies and trailers where high strength and corrosion resistance are required. |
The can body is made of 5083-H111 aluminum plate, and the lids on both sides are made of 5083-O aluminum plates. The O-temper is softer, but the lid needs to be bent, and the partition part is also made of 5083-O. In addition, some manufacturers use 5454-H111 aluminum plates to produce tanks.

Alloy selection and optimization:
Choose corrosion-resistant aluminum alloys: Choose aluminum alloys containing appropriate amounts of magnesium, manganese, chromium, silicon and other elements, such as 5000 series aluminum alloy (containing magnesium), 6XXX series (containing magnesium and silicon) or part of the 7XXX series (containing zinc). These alloys have Better natural corrosion resistance.
Alloy purity: Improving the purity of aluminum alloys and reducing the content of impurity elements, especially iron, copper and other elements that easily cause corrosion, will help improve the overall corrosion resistance.
Surface treatment:
Anodizing: Anodize the surface of aluminum alloy to form a dense aluminum oxide film (Al₂O₃) to improve its corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The color of the anodized film can be controlled by adjusting process parameters, and has a good decorative effect.
Special coating: Select special coating suitable for aluminum alloy, such as epoxy resin, polyurethane, fluorocarbon coating, etc., to ensure good adhesion and anti-corrosion performance between the coating and the aluminum alloy substrate. Coatings should have good chemical resistance, weather resistance and mechanical properties.
maintenance:
Regular inspection: Establish a regular inspection system to conduct visual inspection, thickness measurement, corrosion monitoring, etc. on the surface of the tank to promptly detect and repair coating damage and corrosion signs.
Cleaning and protection: After transporting special media, thoroughly clean the inside of the tank to remove residues, and take appropriate methods (such as drying, nitrogen filling, etc.) to prevent moisture retention and corrosion.
Repair and recoating: Once corrosion or coating damage is found, anti-corrosion treatments such as rust removal, repair, and recoating should be carried out in a timely manner.
Due to the particularity of transporting goods, tank trucks must avoid problems such as tank cracks. This requires the aluminum plate to have strong resistance to stress cracking. Chinalco’s cold rolling project uses a German Simark six-roller cold rolling mill to eliminate internal stress, prevent deformation during cutting, and effectively avoid cracking problems.
The price of aluminum plate for tank cars will vary based on several factors, including the alloy type, thickness, size, surface treatment and market supply and demand of the aluminum plate.
Generally speaking, the price of aluminum plates will vary according to the type of alloy. The price of alloys with high strength and better corrosion resistance may be higher.
In addition, the thickness and size of the aluminum plate will also affect the price. Aluminum plates with thicker thickness and larger size will usually be more expensive. Surface treatment will also affect the price, such as anodizing, mirror treatment, painting treatment, etc., which will increase the cost.

The 1000 series aluminum sheet is a series of pure aluminum sheets. Its composition is mainly aluminum, with a content of more than 99%.
7075 aluminum sheet is the strongest heat-treatable alloy, introduced by Alcoa in 1943, and can be heat-treated to achieve strength levels comparable to many steel alloys.
Cigarette aluminum foil has properties such as moisture-proof, anti-oxidation, and heat insulation. It is mainly used to protect the quality of cigarettes and maintain the humidity of cigarettes.
5×10 aluminum sheet is a common specification of aluminum sheet produced by aluminum sheet manufacturers,it is 5 feet wide and 10 feet long.
Compared with other alloy foils of series 1, such as 1060 and 1070 aluminum foils, the content of (Fe+Si) in 1100 aluminum foil is higher than both, and the content of Fe is the key factor to improve the strength and toughness
