About the development and production specifications of automotive lightweight application materials
On April 25, 2017, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, and the Ministry of Science and Technology issued a notice on the Medium- and Long-Term Development Plan for Automobiles, clearly pointing out that lightweight is one of the important directions for the future development of the automobile industry.

For the car door, car hood and front and rear fenders of the car, the mature product currently developed is 5182 alloy plate. The stamping effect of 5182 alloy aluminum plate performed well. From the customer's reaction situation, there was no crack after the aluminum plate was stamped.

5182 aluminum alloy, currently available in thickness range of 0.15-600mm, width range of 20-2600mm (cut according to customer requirements)

Auto parts contain a wide range of lightweight aluminum alloy products developed for automotive automotive underguards and automotive gas storage tanks, including 5083, 5754, and 5052 alloy aluminum sheets. 5083 aluminum plate and 5052 aluminum alloy are the most widely used in these automotive parts, and the practical application effect is very good, and the market reaction is very good.

The popularity of new energy vehicles and electric vehicles has forced automotive power batteries to make changes in raw materials. At present, it has been successfully developed for power battery products, including power battery shell 3003 aluminum strip, battery core with 1235 aluminum foil, 1060/1070/1100 aluminum foil.

For 3003 aluminum alloy, the thickness range that can be produced is: 0.20-4.5mm, and the width range is 20-2600mm. 1070 aluminum foil, 1235 battery foil, the market demand materials are generally H18 state, the thickness is generally 0.012-0.02mm, the width range: 280-1200mm.

The thick aluminum plate for automobile wheels is mainly 6061 aluminum alloy. Production processing thickness range: 0.30-600 Width range: 150-2600
