As early as 1990, Honda launched the NSX sports car, the world's first mass-produced all-aluminum body model. In addition, the Audi A8, as well as Jaguar, Lotus and other brands, are using aluminum alloys in large quantities.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, with the "energy saving and environmental protection" has become a topic of wide concern, the experiment proves that the car lightweight can improve the handling and also have excellent fuel economy performance. If the weight of the whole vehicle is reduced by 10%, the fuel efficiency can be increased by 6%-8%; for every 100 kg of the vehicle's curb weight, the fuel consumption per 100 km can be reduced by 0.3-0.6 liters; the weight of the vehicle is reduced by 1%, and the fuel consumption can be reduced by 0.7%.
Energy-saving, environmentally-friendly, high-performance, high-quality automotive products, in which the lightweight of the car door guard is a key part of the car research. In the lightweight technology of automobiles, the lightweight of automobile door guards is an indispensable part. The existence of door guards is not only for the purpose of decorative aesthetics, but also pays more attention to providing passengers with more comfortable and reliable operation and protection during the collision process.
The
5182 aluminum plate can be used on both sides of the car. The thickness is 0.15-600mm and the width is 20-2600mm. The
5182 aluminum plate produced by Mingtai Aluminum has good corrosion resistance, excellent weldability, good cold workability and medium strength. Lightweight aluminum is widely used. In addition, thick aluminum plates for automobile wheels are mainly 6061 aluminum plates and so on.
Henan Mingtai Aluminum Co., Ltd. has already applied to automobile doors, hoods, car roofs, bottom guards, wheels, fenders and heat exchange systems (heat sinks) as well as automotive power batteries, lifts, gas storage tanks, etc. The aluminum strip products for various components have been developed. The products have passed the SGS automotive aluminum quality management system certification, and have reached long-term cooperation consensus with many automobile manufacturers, bringing rapid development to China's auto industry.
