Automotive Aluminum Plate Supplier
The alloys of the automotive aluminum plate are mainly 6016-T4/T4P, 6111-T4/T4P, 6014-T4/T4P, and 6451-T4/T4P alloys. A small amount of aluminum plates are 5182-O and 5754-O alloys. 6111 alloy is an American alloy, registered with the American Aluminum Association in 1982; 6014 alloy was developed in Switzerland and registered with the American Aluminum Association in 1983; 6016 alloy is also a Swiss alloy, formed in 1984 and registered in the American Aluminum Association.
Covering parts such as doors and hoods have very low strength requirements, and the most important requirement is rigidity and deformation. Ordinary mild steel or 6000 series automotive aluminum sheets can be used here.
The weight-saving effect of aluminum plates is clearly reflected in these parts. However, because the formability of aluminum is not good enough, if a small scratch occurs, the aluminum plate cannot be repaired and can only be replaced.
Car wheels generally include steel rim wheels, aluminum alloy wheels, magnesium alloy wheels, and carbon fiber composite material wheels. Generally, small cars generally use aluminum alloy wheels. Because aluminum alloy wheels are more energy-saving, comfortable, and safer than steel wheel hubs.
Aluminum alloy wheels are made of aluminum as the basic raw material, and then appropriately added with metal elements such as manganese, magnesium, and titanium. This material is much lighter in weight than other materials. Moreover, the heat dissipation of aluminum alloy wheels is quite good, which can extend the life of the tires.
High Comfort Aluminum alloy wheels have metal features that absorb vibration and rebound force. They are formed in one piece and are processed using CNC machine tools with high dimensional accuracy, high roundness, small yaw and good balance, making the car stable and comfortable. Using aluminum alloy wheels has a very obvious effect on reducing fuel consumption of cars, and most car wheels use 6061 aluminum alloy.
Currently, 6061 aluminum plates are commonly used in automobile fenders. 6061 aluminum plates have good mechanical properties. Its density is only 1/3 of steel, and its machining performance is 4.5 times that of iron. 6061 aluminum alloy car fenders neither increase the weight of the vehicle nor damage the car. The oxide film formed on the surface of the 6061 aluminum plate can prevent the fender from rusting.
