There are three commonly used tank materials for tank trucks: carbon steel, 304 stainless steel, and aluminum alloy.

Among them, carbon steel is the most conventional and the lowest cost. Most domestic tank trucks use carbon steel tank bodies; 304 stainless steel is not expensive than ordinary carbon steel, so there are fewer people using it, but the advantage is the tank. The residual value when the body is scrapped is higher than that of carbon steel.

Aluminum alloy can be recycled, and there is no difference in performance between recycled aluminum alloy materials and original aluminum alloy materials. They can be used repeatedly, reducing resource waste and energy loss.

Different materials

The weight of the aluminum alloy tanker is more than 4.9 tons lighter than that of similar carbon steel tankers. The lighter upper tank lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle and makes the vehicle run more smoothly; the light weight reduces tire wear during no-load and greatly reduces the probability of tire blowouts; aluminum alloy The material has good electrical conductivity, static electricity is not easy to accumulate, and no instant discharge occurs; when the vehicle collides or rolls over, it may be necessary to drill for oil. The aluminum alloy does not produce sparks when drilling, which eliminates safety hazards.

Aluminum alloy can form a dense aluminum oxide protective film on the surface, which can effectively prevent atmospheric and moisture corrosion, so that it has strong oxidation resistance, will not rust, and ensure that the transported oil is not polluted. Aluminum alloy tankers are more durable than carbon steel, with a service life of 15-20 years. Because they will not corrode, their appearance is smooth and beautiful, which can enhance the corporate image.

The aluminum alloy oil tanker has light weight and increased payload, which can reduce the number of transportation, save fuel, and reduce various exhaust emissions; aluminum alloy can withstand the erosion of the atmosphere and moisture, and the exterior does not need to be painted, and the carbon steel maintenance paint is less Atmospheric pollution during production and spraying.
