Fabrication technology for aluminium-alloy tanks carrying petroleum and chemical substances in Viet Nam

Compared to steels, aluminium-alloys are comparably strong but 3 times lighter, inoxidable and unfavorable producing mechanical sparks. Aluminium alloys therefore attractive materials have been widely applied transportation industry in developed countries since 1950s. An alunimium-alloy tank has upto 20% more useful volume than a steel for the same total weight. Interior exterior protective coatings unnecessary, significantly saving annual maintenance costs preventing any contamination from abrasion of interior coatings. In additional, an aluminim-alloy does not ignite fire traffic accident. G7 regions as well many Europe Asia, only tanks made aluminim approved carrying danger liquids such petroleum chemical substances. Vietnam, International Machine And Equipment (IMAE) Company is considered pioneer designing manufacturing aluminium alloy-tanks satisfying American DOT 406 Standard trucks semi-trailers. With optimized processes conjunction with quality control system continuous improvement, product strictly maintained, quickly providing benefits customers. Using aluminium-alloy 25 years, complete payback can be achieved after 7 months although initial investment considerablely high.
