Aluminum For Automobiles

Aluminum For Automobiles

In the context of global carbon neutrality actions, energy conservation and emission reduction have become a topic.

Automobile lightweight technology refers to reducing the curb weight of the car as much as possible on the basis of ensuring the strength and safety performance of the car, so as to achieve the purpose of environmental protection and energy saving. The automotive aluminum industry has ushered in new development opportunities.

From the perspective of the development route of parts, aluminum alloy will gradually become the mainstream material;

Advantages of aluminum alloy materials: aluminum alloy materials have good mechanical and physical properties, high recycling rate, mature forging technology and other advantages, and are widely used in body structural parts and battery housing and other parts.

Automotive parts: aluminum alloy has high corrosion resistance. At present, it has been applied on a large scale in transmission systems, braking systems, engines and other parts, with a penetration rate of more than 50%;

Classification of automotive aluminum alloys

1xxx, 3xxx, 5xxx, 6xxx and 7xxx aluminum alloy series all include alloys for car bodies.

1xxx series aluminum is currently the purest aluminum. 1050 1060 1070 1100 aluminum plate has a purity of 99% and extremely strong ductility.

3xxx manganese aluminum has good forming properties. Common grades: 3003, 3004 and 3105.

The 5xxx series is one of the most popular aluminum car bodies. Its main alloying elements are magnesium, 5005, 5052, 5083, 5454.
