Product Description
ASTM B209 5454 H32 Aluminum Plate for Petroleum Tank Trailers
ASTM B209 5454 aluminum plate offers a balanced solution for tanker truck bodies, providing lightweight construction, excellent corrosion resistance, and superior 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 performance in marine and chemical environments including saltwater, petroleum, and acidic/alkaline solutions
- Strength: Higher than 5052 but lower than 5083/5086 with typical tensile strength of 250-350 MPa in H32/H34 tempers
- Weldability: Easily welded using MIG/TIG methods without post-weld cracking
- Formability: Good for stamping and bending operations
Alloy Comparison for Tanker Applications
| Alloy | Mg Content | Strength | Corrosion Resistance | Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5454 | 2.7-3.5% | Medium | Excellent | $$ | General tanker bodies, chemical transport |
| 5052 | 2.2-2.8% | Lower | Very Good | $ | Light-duty tanks, non-chemical liquids |
| 5083 | 4.0-4.9% | High | Exceptional | $$$ | Heavy-duty/offshore tankers, cryogenic tanks |
| 6061 | 0.8-1.2% (Mg-Si) | High (T6) | Good | $$ | Structural frames (not fluid contact areas) |
Why Choose 5454 Aluminum?
- Higher strength than 5052 for pressurized tank applications
- More cost-effective than 5083 for non-extreme operating conditions
- Superior corrosion resistance compared to 6061 in wet environments
Advantages for Petroleum Tank Trailers
Lightweight construction reduces fuel consumption by approximately 35% compared to steel
Excellent corrosion resistance withstands petroleum, diesel, and chemicals without protective coatings
Enhanced durability with resistance to stress corrosion cracking in welded joints
Maintains toughness and performance in low-temperature applications including LNG transport
Cost-effective solution providing sufficient strength at lower cost than 5083/5086 alloys
