Aluminum alloy has low density, high elongation, and good weldability, and has broad application prospects. The self-weight of aluminum alloy materials is about one-third that of steel, its strength is similar to that of low carbon steel, and it has good corrosion resistance. It is currently widely used in the field of chemical storage tanks, mainly using 1060 aluminum plates, 1070 aluminum plates, etc.

1060 aluminum plate can be used for concentrated nitric acid storage
Concentrated nitric acid storage tanks are containers that store 98% concentrated nitric acid. Since nitric acid is highly corrosive and can quickly corrode most metals and organic materials, the selection of storage tank materials is very demanding. Through production practice, it has been found that in relatively dilute nitric acid, the corrosion resistance of stainless steel is better than that of aluminum; in concentrated nitric acid slightly above room temperature, the corrosion resistance of aluminum is better than that of stainless steel. The concentrated nitric acid storage tank is made of high-purity aluminum material with grade 1060. This material is suitable for storing concentrated nitric acid below 50°C. Concentrated nitric acid will form an oxide film on its surface to play an anti-corrosion role.
Chemical storage tanks - nitric acid storage tanks are made of 1060 aluminum plates, which belong to series 1 pure aluminum and contain more than 99.6% aluminum. They are formed from pure aluminum plus a small amount of copper elements. They have excellent molding and processing properties, high corrosion resistance, and good welding. Excellent performance and conductivity, easy to withstand various pressure processing, extension and bending.
