That is, familiar and unfamiliar aluminum alloy

 

Nowadays, the application of aluminum alloy in automobile manufacturing has attracted the attention of major automobile enterprises. Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Chery Jaguar Land Rover and other automobile enterprises have introduced aluminum alloy technology into automobile manufacturing, and more or less added aluminum alloy components to their respective automobile products to reduce the vehicle weight of vehicle products. But for ordinary consumers in the automotive industry, the name aluminum alloy is somewhat unfamiliar. In people's traditional concept, the metal most used in automobile manufacturing is steel.

In fact, the use of aluminum alloy in the manufacture of vehicles is not new in the field of aerospace. After the Wright brothers invented the aircraft, people urgently needed a material that is stronger than wood and canvas, but not too heavy, in order to fly higher and farther. Finally, people found that aluminum alloy was low in density, light in weight and strong, which just met this demand. After World War I, aluminum alloy became the best material for people to manufacture aircraft, so far, both large-scale civil airliners and cutting-edge military fighters are using aluminum alloy to make their fuselages on a large scale.

The introduction of aluminum alloy, an aerospace material, into automobile manufacturing is mainly due to people's concern about reducing industrial carbon emissions. In recent years, with the rapid development of industrialization in the world, people's voice for energy saving and emission reduction is getting higher and higher. How to reduce automobile carbon emissions has become an important issue in front of automobile enterprises in various countries.

Statistics show that for every 1Kg reduction in the weight of a car, 17 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced during the life cycle of the car. However, among all kinds of lightweight materials, carbon fiber, magnesium alloy and other materials can reduce the weight of the car body, but the cost is too high for ordinary consumers to bear,The aluminum alloy has the advantages of light weight, strong structure and moderate price.
