Analysis of the advantages of aluminium tankers

Aluminium has been used in vehicles for a long time. By the 1960s, aluminium had already started to be used on a large scale in cars. Today, in Europe, the United States, Australia, Japan and other developed countries, carbon steel tankers have been basically eliminated in favour of aluminium tankers. Carbon steel tankers are prone to corrosion when loaded with petrol and diesel. The tank is prone to rust, resulting in oil contamination, which in turn leads to early wear and tear of the vehicle engine, greatly shortening the service life of the engine. The use of aluminium alloy tankers not only substantially reduces the weight of the vehicle and improves transport efficiency, but also has a long service life, extending 5-10 years compared to steel tankers. The profits created over the entire life cycle are very substantial.

Aluminium sheet as the raw material for manufacturing aluminium alloy tanker, in the future time, the use will also be greatly increased, in recent years, many aluminum processing began to expand this market research and development efforts, increase the production strength of aluminum sheet for tanker.

Aluminium alloy tanker bodies are lightweight, more economical and practical, with small aluminium alloy density and high strength. It is more than 4 tons lighter than similar steel tankers and 20% more loaded than steel tankers. As the aluminium alloy tanker is lighter in weight compared to the carbon steel tanker, it reduces the consumption of fuel and wear and tear on the tyres during transportation, thus reducing daily operating costs and maintenance costs. By reducing the weight of the vehicle and increasing the payload, transporting the same amount of goods allows the vehicle to carry a number of trips less.
