Does it matter if the freight car is padded with 0. 1 aluminum plate?

Using 0. 1 aluminum version to buffer the carriage will not have much impact on the freight car.

The reason is that aluminum has a lower density and is lighter than steel, but its strength and stiffness are slightly lower than steel. Aluminum can be used for the bottom of some light-loaded trucks or under the condition that the weight of the trucks is not high. 0. 1 aluminum plate is relatively thin, and its strength and stiffness will be lower than other aluminum plates, but its relative weight is also light, which has little influence on the vehicle's self-weight. In addition, 0. 1 aluminum plate has good bending resistance and corrosion resistance, which can meet the basic requirements of freight cars.

It should be noted that if trucks use 0. 1 aluminum for a long time, it may cause fatigue damage and deformation of aluminum and affect the service life of vehicles. In addition, aluminum has good thermal conductivity, which may affect the stability and safety of vehicles if it is used in high temperature environment.

Therefore, if it is necessary to use the 0. 1 aluminum buffer car for a long time, it is suggested that the strength and stiffness of the material, the use environment and the load of the vehicle should be fully considered in the design and manufacture of the vehicle. Appropriate aluminum plate thickness and vehicle structure can be selected according to the actual situation to ensure the safety and stability of the vehicle.
