5083 aluminum sheet mainly contains magnesium and has good weldability, corrosion resistance and processing performance. Its moderate strength makes it very suitable for manufacturing liquid tank trucks. These characteristics make 5083 aluminum sheet one of the preferred materials for aluminum tank trucks.
The body of a tank truck consists of side panels, wave-breaking plates, tank mouths and other parts. The tank body usually uses 5083 H111 aluminum sheet, while the tank cover and internal partitions use softer 5083-O aluminum sheet for easy bending processing.
Aluminum plates for tank trucks are less than 2.2 meters wide and commonly have a thickness of 5, 6, 7 or 8 mm. A complete tank usually requires 4 to 6 aluminum plates to be welded together. Therefore, welding performance is critical to ensure the structural integrity and sealing of the tank.
