While the automobile industry is booming, due to the needs of environmental protection and energy saving, automobile lightweight has become the trend of world automobile development. According to the calculations of relevant departments, the demand for aluminum for automobiles in 2020 is about 5.3 million to 5.9 million tons, and the light-weight aluminum market has a promising prospect. In the process of implementing automobile lightweighting, aluminum alloy materials will give full play to their natural advantages and are mainly used to transform and replace body materials. Automobile lightweight can be roughly divided into four categories: body lightweight, engine lightweight, chassis lightweight, and heat exchange system lightweight. The purpose is to reduce the weight of the vehicle by using lighter materials while ensuring performance, thereby achieving energy conservation and environmental protection. Features.
Auto parts alloy aluminum plate has good mechanical properties, its density is only 1/3 of that of steel, it has good thermal conductivity, and its machinability is 4.5 times higher than that of iron. Therefore, aluminum has become the most ideal material of choice for lightweight vehicles. Aluminum alloy can reduce the weight of the entire vehicle by 10%. For every 100 kilograms of vehicle weight reduction, fuel consumption per 100 kilometers can be reduced by 0.4 liters, carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by 1 kilogram, and fuel efficiency can be increased by 6%-8%.
The aluminum engine cylinder head has good heat dissipation effect, light weight, and relatively low fuel consumption; the aluminum plate has high strength, good formability, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance; the 5xxx alloy aluminum plate developed by Mingtai Aluminum can reach high temperature superplasticity 200～298%, the performance is equivalent to that of foreign materials, meeting user requirements, and replacing imported materials.
"The development of lightweight transportation represented by lightweight automobile is the future "green aluminum industry" and the guiding direction of the joint efforts of many aluminum processing enterprises." said the person in charge of Mingtai Aluminum. In the future, Mingtai Aluminum will take advantage of lightweight opportunities to seize more markets for the company's products, obtain significant benefits, and usher in greater brilliance for Mingtai.
