EN AW 5083 Aluminum Alloy Sheets In Tanker Trucks 5083 Alloy Sheets

5083 aluminum sheet belongs to Al-Mg series alloy. It is the highest strength corrosion-resistant

alloy among practical non-heat-treated alloys. And it is suitable for welding structures. Also, it is

worth mentioning that 5083 aluminum sheet has good resistance to seawater and low-temperature

characteristics.

Key Applications of 5083 Aluminum in Tanker Trucks

♦ Tank Body Structure

Thickness: 4~6mm 5083 aluminum sheets, welded to form the main tank structure.

♦ End Caps (Heads)

Hemispherical/Dished Heads

Thickness: 5~8mm 5083 aluminum, formed via stamping.

♦ Baffle Plates

Anti-Sloshing Partitions

Thickness: 3~5mm aluminum sheets to compartmentalize the tank and minimize liquid sloshing

during transport.

♦ Subframe & Support Structures

Tank-to-Chassis Connections

Some designs use 5083-H321 (strain-hardened temper) for enhanced load-bearing capacity.

Comparison with Alternative Alloys

Advantages for Tanker Trucks

✅ Lightweight: Density (2.66 g/cm³) is ~35% lower than steel, reducing fuel consumption.

✅ Corrosion Resistance: Withstands fuels, salt spray, and de-icing agents, extending service life.

✅ Formability: Easily cold-worked into complex shapes (e.g., curved tank profiles).

✅ Safety: Non-sparking properties ideal for flammable liquid transport.
