Introduction

The construction of aluminum storage tanks for petrochemicals, cryogenic liquids, or foodstuffs requires filler metals that provide exceptional joint strength and resistance to stress corrosion cracking over decades of service. Our 5XXX series wires are formulated to match the mechanical properties of common tank plate materials (e.g., 5083), ensuring high weld efficiency and structural safety. The consistency of the wire minimizes defects, which is crucial for passing non-destructive testing (NDT) and maintaining pressure ratings.

Applications

  • Construction of large-scale oil and gas storage tanks.

  • Fabrication of cryogenic tanks for handling LNG and liquid oxygen.

  • Welding of chemical transport vessels and silos.

  • Production of pressure vessels subject to ASME/API code requirements.

FAQ

  • Q: Which filler metal is required for ASME code pressure vessel welding?
  • A: The specific filler metal depends on the base metal (e.g., 5083 requires ER5183 or ER5356), but the wire must be manufactured under a strict quality system to comply with Section IX material certification requirements.
  • Q: Can these wires handle the cyclic loading experienced by transport tankers?
  • A: Yes, the high ductility and fatigue resistance of our 5XXX series weldments are specifically suited to handle the constant sloshing and vibration forces in transportation and mobile storage tanks.

Advantages

  • High Weld Strength: Provides weld deposits that exceed the required tensile and yield strength for safe pressure containment applications.

  • Cryogenic Suitability: Specific alloys (like ER5183) maintain excellent ductility and fracture toughness down to cryogenic temperatures, essential for LNG tanks.

  • SCC Resistance: Controlled elemental composition reduces the susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking, enhancing the longevity of the tank structure.

  • Smooth Feeding: The precise cleaning and spooling of the wire facilitate long, continuous welds with minimal interruption, increasing site productivity.

Payment and Shipping

  • Bulk Order Fulfillment: Capable of supplying large volumes of wire required for major tank farm construction projects.

  • Project Support: Dedicated sales and technical support to coordinate material delivery schedules with construction timelines.

  • Packaging: Supplied in large-capacity drums (when feasible) to maximize arc-on time in field welding.
