Why Korean Tanker Manufacturers Choose Mingtai’s 5182 Aluminum Sheets

2025-06-12 09:52:00

South Korea’s tanker builders face dual pressures: comply with evolving environmental regulations while maintaining profit margins. Mingtai Aluminum’s 5182 Tanker Trailer Aluminum Sheet addresses both challenges through its unique blend of strength, corrosion resistance, and formability.

Deep Drawing Mastery: From Coil to Complex Shapes

With an n-value (strain hardening exponent) of 0.28, Mingtai’s 5182 alloy enables deep drawing of tanker domes to R15mm radii without wrinkling. A Korean special vehicle manufacturer reported a 22% production speed boost and scrap rate reduction from 3.8% to 0.7% after switching suppliers.

Corrosion Defense for Maritime Environments

Mingtai’s proprietary dual-layer passivation process extends salt spray resistance to 1,200 hours (ASTM G85), outperforming standard treatments by 150%. A chemical transport firm operating near Busan port confirmed zero pitting corrosion after 3 years of service.

Custom Solutions Beyond the Sheet

Mingtai offers KS D 6701-compliant 5182 aluminum coils sheets in widths up to 2,650mm, paired with value-added services like laser cutting and slitting. When a Korean client needed 15 tons of 2.5mm non-standard gauge sheets urgently, Mingtai delivered SGS-certified material in 5 days – beating the competition by 12 days.
