Material Classification of Shipping Containers - Special Containers Wellcamp-Professional Container Production

A shipping container is a larger loading container with relative stiffness, strength and specifications for circulation, which can play a relatively large role in transporting goods. Generally, a shipping container needs to have a certain strength to be used repeatedly, which is related to the constituent materials of the shipping container. The sea container material discussed here mainly refers to the main body components, including the roof, side walls and end walls, and so on. The materials of shipping containers can be mainly divided into the following three categories: 1. Steel shipping containers Steel shipping containers are made of steel, and their advantages are moderate price, sufficient strength, stable structure, excellent water tightness and strong weldability, etc. , but there are defects such as excessive quality and not easy to prevent corrosion. 2. FRP shipping container This kind of shipping container is made of FRP material. The disadvantages are that the aging speed is fast, the quality is too heavy, the strength of the bolt is not enough, etc., but its advantage is that the overall strength is good, and it can isolate Thermal and anti-corrosion, the chemical state is relatively stable, the repair work is relatively simple, and it is easy to clean. 3. Aluminum alloy shipping container Aluminum alloy shipping container, as the name implies, can be known to be made of aluminum alloy material. The biggest advantage of this kind of container is its small quality, good elasticity, simple manufacturing process, low cost, long service life and corrosion resistance, but this kind of shipping container is not easy to weld, and the overall manufacturing price is high. The above only introduces the three main materials that make up the shipping container, and there are also shipping containers made of wood and stainless steel. There are differences in the composition materials of the container, which will inevitably lead to the emergence of some of its advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, when choosing the composition materials, it is necessary to promote its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. The user can decide what kind of shipping container to choose according to the actual characteristics of the specific transported goods, which is more economical and convenient for the transportation of goods, and at the same time ensures the safety of their own goods as much as possible.
