As a means of transportation, containers are used internationally. It can be seen that in order to reduce some unnecessary troubles in transportation, the steel used in containers needs to adapt to different climatic conditions during transportation. What are the materials of containers? Why are our common containers made of steel? Let's take a look at the characteristics of containers of different materials.
1. Steel container. As a commonly used container material, it has good welding performance, strong structure, good water tightness, and low price. The production of weather-resistant steel makes the container of this material more resistant to corrosion.
2. Aluminum alloy container. Compared with steel containers, it has a smaller weight and strong corrosion resistance, but it has a higher cost and is not suitable for welding.
3. FRP containers. The container made of this material has high strength, good heat insulation and anti-corrosion ability, but it is heavy and easy to age, which will cause the strength of bolts to be reduced.
After understanding containers of different materials, I believe everyone has understood why steel containers are so widely used. The container steel materials must not only meet the good performance of the steel itself, but also solve some problems encountered in transportation step by step through practice and transformation.
