5454 alloy material Tank Trailiers as a sample in our warehouse
Manufacturing Process: Extruding, Rolling, Machining, Hydraulic Pressure Bulging
Specification: 12790×2500×3900mm
● Lighter weight,bigger volume,fuel efficiency,reduces CO₂emissions
and environmental protection.
● The girder has higher overall strength because of once shapingextrusion profile technique,
high strength, low center of gravity,goodsafety performance,excellent corrosion ressistance.
● High recovery, low maintenance cost.

Key Characteristics
♦ Alloy Type: Al-Mg alloy (5xxx series) with 2.4-3.0% Mg and 0.5-1.0% Mn, offering excellent corrosion
resistance and medium-high strength.
♦ Mirror Finish: Achieved via mechanical/electropolishing, enhancing aesthetics and cleanability.
♦ Weldability: Compatible with MIG/TIG; post-weld heat treatment unnecessary
♦ Chemical Resistance: Resists saltwater, weak acids/alkalis, ideal for food-grade (e.g., milk) and
chemical liquids
Core Advantages
✔ Lightweight: 35% lighter than stainless steel (density: 2.68 g/cm³), reducing fuel consumption.
✔ Stress Corrosion Resistance: Optimized Mg content avoids SCC risks seen in high-Mg alloys (e.g., 5083).
✔ Cryogenic Performance: Maintains properties at -196°C, suitable for LNG tanks.
✔ Hygienic Surface: Mirror finish minimizes residue buildup, compliant with FDA/EHEDG standards.
Recommended Tempers
H32/H34: Partially hardened, balances strength (UTS≥250 MPa) and formability.
O Temper: Annealed, optimal for deep drawing (e.g., tank heads).
Comparison with Other Alloys for Tankers
Property | 5454 | 5083 | 6061 |
Strength | Medium (H32: 250-300 MPa) | High (H321: 270-350 MPa) | Medium (T6: 310 MPa) |
Corrosion Resistance | Excellent (especially vs. chlorides) | Excellent (marine-grade) | Good (requires anodizing) |
Weldability | Excellent | Excellent | Good (PWHT needed) |
Cost | Moderate | Moderate | Low |
Typical Use | Food/chemical tankers | Ships/pressure vessels | Truck frames |
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.
Tanker Truck Applications
• Tank Body: 5454-H32 mirror sheet (3-6mm thickness), welded without coating.
• Interior: Mirror polish reduces liquid retention, meeting sanitary standards .
• End-Use: Food transport (dairy, edible oils), mild chemicals (pH-neutral).
