Features of 5182 Aluminum Plate for Tank Trucks
High elongation and welding reliability: 5182 is a high-magnesium alloy with elongation ≥24% and excellent joint strength, ideal for shells, heads, and baffles with long weld seams to enhance overall safety.
Excellent corrosion resistance: Resists common petroleum products and road salt exposure, extending tanker service life and reducing maintenance frequency.
Wide plate reduces seams: Available in widths up to 2600 mm to minimize longitudinal welds, speed up production, and improve flatness and sealing reliability.
Good forming performance: O temper is suitable for deep drawing and spinning, while H111 is good for rolling, meeting complex tank designs and reducing forming cracks.
Lightweight with high load capacity: Low density and high specific strength help reduce overall vehicle weight, increasing payload and transport efficiency.
Sustainable value: Fully recyclable, supporting green manufacturing and optimized lifecycle cost.
Where 5182 Fits in a Tank Trailer
Shell / Body
5182-H111 is ideal for tanker shells, combining high elongation and excellent weldability. With plate width up to 2600 mm, fewer longitudinal welds are required, which helps increase overall strength and corrosion resistance of the tank.
Heads / End Caps
5182-O temper offers excellent formability for spinning or pressing head components. It ensures good weld integrity and reliable sealing performance after forming.
Baffles / Bulkheads
5182-O temper is also used for baffles and partitions. These components control liquid surge inside the tank, improving vehicle stability and braking safety.

FAQ — 5182 Aluminum for Tank Trucks
How should I choose between 5182-H111 and 5182-O?
Use 5182-H111 for shells/body where rolling and welding stability are key. Choose 5182-O for heads and baffles that require spinning, pressing, or bending; complex shapes favor O temper.
Do I need NAMLT testing for my project? What thresholds are typical?
NAMLT (ASTM G67) helps assess sensitization/SCC risk under sustained temperature and stress. A practical project target is < 15–25 mg/cm² (lower is safer); align with your service conditions.
Is mirror finish better than mill finish in hot climates?
Mirror finish offers higher solar reflectivity to reduce heat absorption and improve appearance consistency in hot regions. Mill finish suits standard paint/polish workflows and structural parts.
Can I purchase ready-made components to reduce on-site work?
Drawing-based parts such as 5182-O heads, 5182-O baffles/bulkheads, and 5182-H111 shell plates can be pre-cut, punched, beveled, and kit-packed to minimize cutting time and scrap.
How should 5182 be welded, and which filler should I choose?
MIG/TIG with dual cleaning and controlled heat input/interpass temperature works well. Choose ER5356 for general applications; select ER5183 when higher as-welded strength or harsher corrosion resistance is required.
Which standards and documents can you provide?
Supplied per EN 14286 / ASTM B209 with EN 10204 3.1 MTRs and dimensional inspection records; NAMLT reports and WPS/NDT guidance available on request.
How is pricing calculated, and what about MOQ and samples?
Specification-based pricing considers alloy/temper, surface, dimensions/tolerances, processing route, quantity, and destination. MOQ and samples depend on the specification and processing scope.
What are the lead time, delivery terms, and packing options?
Lead time starts after drawing and commercial confirmation; expedited and partial shipments are available. Kit-packing per compartment and export-grade packing with PE film and reinforced protection can be provided.
Chalco can provide you the most comprehensive inventory of aluminum products and can also supply you customized products. Precise quotation will be provided within 24 hours.
