Uncoated steels are prone to contamination and corrosion. To combat this, IFH Group pioneered the use of aluminized steel—sheet steel hot dip coated on both sides with an aluminum-silicon alloy. This innovative approach combines the corrosion-resistance of aluminum with the structural strength and lower cost of steel, delivering fuel tanks that are built strong, cost effective, and manufactured to very low initial contamination levels.
Our aluminized steel fuel tanks and aluminum fuel tanks are resistant to virtually all petroleum-based and synthetic fluids, while providing excellent protection from atmospheric corrosion. These tanks can be easily welded using resistance, MIG, or TIG processes, and can be formed using normal methods—without coating peeling or flaking. Additionally, the material provides an attractive satin finish that can be easily painted once prepped, making it versatile for a range of custom fuel tank applications.
The integrity of every custom fuel tank depends on superior welding. IFH Group offers a wide range of in-house welding capabilities to ensure structural strength, fluid tightness, and long service life:
- MIG Welding
- TIG Welding
- Robotic Welding
- Electrical Resistance Welding
Every weld is inspected and tested to meet the highest standards, ensuring your aluminum tank or aluminized steel reservoir performs reliably in even the toughest environments.
With our advanced in-house technology, IFH Group has the flexibility to produce both prototypes and production runs with precision and efficiency. Our CNC-controlled equipment ensures accuracy, repeatability, and scalability for every custom aluminum or aluminized steel tank we produce:
- CNC-controlled Milling Equipment
- CNC-controlled Forming Equipment
- CNC-controlled Welding Equipment
- Precision Laser Cutting
This integrated approach minimizes errors, reduces lead time, and allows us to fabricate highly customized solutions without sacrificing consistency or quality.
