aluminum alloy

Over the past 20 years, the world energy problem has become more and more serious, which makes it the important to reduce the weight of the car and reduce fuel consumption. According to the relevant data, the weight of the motor vehicle per 50kg, the distance of each liter of fuel oil can be increased by 2km; the weight of the vehicle is reduced by 1%, and the fuel consumption is reduced by 0.6% to 1%.

Aluminum has the advantages of low density, good corrosion resistance, and good plasticity of aluminum alloy, casting, forging, stamping process are applicable, the most suitable for automotive parts production of die casting process. From the production cost, part quality, material utilization , aluminum alloy has become an important material for automobile production. At present, the United States, Japan, Germany is the largest car using aluminum alloy, such as the German Volkswagen AudiA8, A2, NXS and other Japanese car body with an aluminum alloy of 80%.

It is indicated that the aluminum alloy structure instead of the traditional steel structure, can make the automobile quality reduce 40% ~ 30%, manufacturing engine can reduce 30%, manufacturing wheels can reduce 50%. Aluminum alloy is one of the important ways of lightweight, environmental protection, energy saving, speed and transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to study the development of aluminum alloy car.
