Product Description
Product Description:5052 aluminum alloy (2mm thick, 1600mm wide) is a revolutionary material for truck fuel tank manufacturing worldwide due to its high formability, corrosion resistance and zero-leakage sealing performance. From long-distance freight to new energy heavy trucks, from extreme cold northern Europe to hot and humid Southeast Asia, the fuel storage system is redefined with lightweight and reliability.
Core Advantages: Why Choose 5052 Aluminum Coil to Make Fuel Tank?
1. "Technical password" with no leakage rate
Material Properties:
The elongation is ≥12% (ASTM B209), no cracks in stamping and forming, and is suitable for complex fuel tank structures;
Tensile strength ≥ 210MPa, long-term corrosion resistance to fuel oil (diesel/biofuel) (ASTM G31).
Welding process:
TIG/MIG welding (ER5356 welding wire), the air tightness of the weld passed the helium leak detection test (leakage rate <0.1Pa·m³/s).
2. Lightweighting and fuel economy
Density 2.68g/cm³: 60% lighter than steel fuel tank (single fuel tank weight reduction 80-100kg), fuel efficiency increased by 3%-5%;
Structural optimization: integrated stamping and forming (1600mm wide plate reduces welds), improving space utilization by 10%.
3. Corrosion resistance and long life
Salt spray test ≥ 3000 hours (ISO 9227): natural oxide film resists snow melting agents and acid rain;
Compared with traditional materials: the service life is 2 times longer than that of galvanized steel tanks, and the maintenance cost is reduced by 50%.
4. Environmental protection and compliance
100% recyclable: Hydro CIRCAL carbon footprint ≤ 3kg CO2/kg;
International certification: IATF 16949 automotive industry standard, ADR (European Dangerous Goods Transport Certification).

Lightweight and new energy two-wheel drive
1. Current drivers
Mandatory by regulation:
The EU will ban the sale of fuel vehicles in 2035, promote the development of hydrogen energy/electric trucks, and adapt aluminum fuel tanks to multi-fuel systems;
China's China VI standard requires the evaporative emission of the fuel tank to be ≤0.05g/test, and the advantages of aluminum sealing are highlighted.
Economic Requirements:
Logistics enterprises account for more than 30% of fuel costs, reducing weight by 1kg ≈ saving $10 (80,000 km/year) in fuel costs for a year.
2. Future technology direction
Smart Fuel Tank System:
Integrated level/pressure sensor for real-time monitoring of fuel status;
Case in point: "Smart Tank" data platform.
Composite Structure Upgrade:
Aluminum-carbon fiber liner (strength increased by 50%, weight reduced by 15%), MAN heavy truck pre-research project.
Zero-carbon manufacturing:
Green aluminium smelting (Hydro zero-carbon aluminum) with a carbon footprint of ≤ 1kg CO2/kg (pilot in Norway).
