First of all, Happy Labor Day everyone! Let's get back to the point, it is well known that aluminum sheet alloys have a wide range of applications, and last week we have learned about the application of 0.75 aluminum sheet in automobiles and airplanes. So are there other applications for aluminum sheet and aluminum plate? Of course it is! Today our topic is the application of aluminum sheets on railway trains.
The application of aluminum plate in railway trains is mainly used for structural plates, upper beams, eaves beams and bottom beams, freight car parts, doors, windows and interior decoration, equipment control devices, water tanks, racks, chairs, conduits, wire racks, signal conductors Instrument frames for systems, piping for ventilation and refrigeration and air conditioning systems, catenary transmission systems, busbars and clamps, etc. At present, aluminum alloy plates are used as railway vehicle bodies: urban rail transit (including subways, urban light rails, maglev trains, etc.), and my country's EMUs and C80 railway coal vehicles have also used aluminum alloy plates as car bodies. The body is made of aluminum profiles, and the carriage is made of aluminum plates. According to data, each train and subway consumes an average of 2 tons of aluminum alloy sheets and 8 to 9 tons of aluminum extrusion materials. Aluminum alloy sheets for urban rail transit and high-speed railways mainly use 5083, 6082, 6061, 6005, and 7020 models. C80 coal truck mainly uses 5083 aluminum alloy plate. In the early 1950s, some advanced countries in the world, including the United States, Canada, Japan, Russia, Germany, and France, began to use aluminum alloy materials to manufacture railway vehicles. The United States is the earliest and most mature country in the application of aluminum alloy coal gondola technology. It is mainly the application of
1/8 aluminum sheet on railways. With the rapid development, there will be more and more applications of aluminum plates. There is no doubt about this. Huawei Aluminum can provide you with all series of aluminum sheets from 1XXX series to 8XXX series, which can meet your needs, if you are interested in our products, please contact us.
