With the introduction of the lightweight concept, aluminum alloys are increasingly used in automobiles as lightweight materials.
At present, many large trucks are beginning to be equipped with aluminum alloy fuel tanks. Aluminum alloy fuel tanks have become the standard equipment of major manufacturers. So what are the advantages of aluminum alloy fuel tanks?
Aluminum alloy fuel tanks generally use 5052 aluminum alloy plates, which are aluminum-magnesium alloy aluminum plates. They are a widely used anti-rust aluminum plate and strip. They have high strength, good plasticity, corrosion resistance, and cannot be heat treated.
The aluminum alloy fuel tank itself has good corrosion resistance and can be rust-free for many years. It is undoubtedly the first choice for mixer trucks with large fuel consumption and high fuel quality requirements. Aluminum alloy fuel tanks now account for more than 80% of the mixer truck fuel tank market.
Introduction to the four major advantages of aluminum alloy fuel tanks:
1. Good corrosion resistance and less likely to produce impurities
Aluminum alloy fuel tanks themselves have good corrosion resistance and can be rust-free for many years if used properly. They are undoubtedly the first choice for large passenger cars and heavy trucks that consume a lot of fuel and have high fuel quality requirements. Now aluminum alloy fuel tanks have occupied the heavy truck fuel tank market. of more than 80% share.
2. Light weight, in line with vehicle lightweight requirements
Nowadays, major car companies are gradually moving towards lightweight development on the premise of ensuring the strength and safety performance of the vehicle body. Aluminum alloys are lighter than iron materials. Many parts in vehicle configurations have begun to use aluminum alloy materials, such as aluminum alloy wheels. Aluminum alloy gas tanks, etc., aluminum alloy fuel tanks will be widely used in trucks.
3. Beautiful appearance, better aluminum alloy material
The appearance of the aluminum alloy fuel tank does not require spray painting. The silver appearance is simple and beautiful, which not only simplifies the production process of spraying, but also makes the appearance easier for users to accept. Compared with iron materials, aluminum alloy materials have better extensibility and are less likely to break during collision.
4. Mature process technology and good market prospects
Nowadays, the aluminum technology is mature, the production process is environmentally friendly, and the service life is long. At the same time, aluminum materials can be recycled. The recycling rate of aluminum alloy fuel tanks after they are scrapped is more than 85%. Nowadays, major manufacturers are actively promoting it, and the aluminum alloy fuel tank industry is booming, constantly occupying the fuel tank market, and gradually becoming the dominant direction in the development of fuel tank accessories.
