ASTM B209 5454 Aluminum Plate Supplier Used For Petroleum Tank Trailer

5454 aluminum is a balanced choice for tanker truck bodies, offering lightweight, corrosion

resistance, and weldability at a moderate cost.

Key Characteristics of 5454 Aluminum

Alloy Type: Al-Mg (5xxx series, with 2.7-3.5% Mg + 0.5-1.0% Mn).

Corrosion Resistance: Excellent, especially in marine and chemical environments (saltwater,

petroleum, acidic/alkaline solutions).

Strength: Higher than 5052 but lower than 5083/5086 (typical tensile strength: 250-350 MPa in

H32/H34 tempers).

Weldability: Easily welded using MIG/TIG methods without post-weld cracking.

Formability: Good for stamping and bending (better than 5083, but less ductile than 5052).

Comparison with Other Alloys for Tankers

Why 5454 Over Others?

Vs 5052: Higher strength for pressurized tanks.

Vs 5083: More cost-effective for non-extreme conditions.

Vs 6061: Superior corrosion resistance in wet environments.

Advantages for Petroleum Tank Trailer

✅ Lightweight: ~35% lighter than steel, reducing fuel consumption.

✅ Corrosion Resistance: Withstands petroleum, diesel, and chemicals without coating.

✅ Durability: Resists stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in welded joints.

✅ Low-Temperature Performance: Maintains toughness in cold climates (e.g., LNG transport).

✅ Cost-Effective: Cheaper than 5083/5086 while offering sufficient strength.
