5454 Alloy Material Tank Trailers Sample in Our Warehouse
Manufacturing Process:
Extruding, Rolling, Machining, Hydraulic Pressure Bulging
Specification:
12790×2500×3900mm
- Lighter weight, bigger volume, fuel efficiency, reduces CO₂ emissions and environmental protection.
- The girder has higher overall strength because of once shaping extrusion profile technique, high strength, low center of gravity, good safety performance, excellent corrosion resistance.
- High recovery, low maintenance cost.

Ocean Shipping
For oversize sheet, we use Flat Rack Container
- We use suitable securing material to firmly fix the aluminum plates to the flat rack.
- To prevent possible exposure to seawater or rain, we cover the entire cargo with waterproof tarps.
- We ensure sheets are loaded with a low and evenly distributed center of gravity to avoid tilting during transportation.
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.

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).
