What are the advantages of aluminum alloy profiles?

Dec 15,2021 / News, Industry News / Author: ShengKui

Aluminum alloy profiles have a series of excellent characteristics, such as low density, high specific strength and specific rigidity, good elasticity, good impact resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, easy surface coloring, good processing and formability, and High recyclability, etc.

Therefore, in the engineering field, aluminum has always been regarded as an "opportunity metal" or "hope metal", and the aluminum industry has always been regarded as a "sunrise industry". Aluminium alloy profiles are widely used in the automobile industry. No matter from the aspects of automobile manufacturing, automobile operation, scrap automobile recycling, etc., it brings huge economic and social benefits. And with the increase of automobile production and social ownership, this kind of The benefits will be more obvious.

The benefits brought by the increase in the amount of aluminum alloy profiles for automobiles are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
(1) Promote the weight of the car, save energy and reduce consumption, and be environmentally friendly. Usually, 1kg aluminum alloy profiles are used, and the car's own weight can be reduced by 2.25kg.For a 1300kg car, if its weight is reduced by 10%, its fuel consumption can be reduced by 6%-8%. In general, for every 1kg of vehicle weight reduced, 1L of gasoline can make the car travel 0.11km more, or for every 100km it travels, it can save 0.7kg of gasoline.

(2) It can be recycled and reused to further save energy. Aluminum alloy profile parts are convenient for remelting and recycling. The current recycling rate is not less than 85%. The energy consumption of recycled aluminum alloy is only 3%-5% of electrolytic aluminum, so it can save a lot of energy.

(3) Increase corrosion resistance and prolong service life
Aluminum alloy profiles can form a dense oxide film on the surface under natural conditions at room temperature. This oxide film can prevent the aluminum alloy matrix from further reacting with oxygen in the air, so the surface-treated aluminum profiles have corrosion resistance, The oxidation resistance is much higher than that of steel materials.

(4) Contribute to improving the smoothness, comfort and safety of the car
Reduce the weight of the car and improve the driving performance of the car. The Alcoa Association proposed that if the vehicle weight is reduced by 25%, the time for the vehicle to accelerate to 60mph can be reduced from the original 10 seconds to 6 seconds;Because the aluminum alloy profile is used to reduce the weight of the car without reducing the volume of the car, it makes the car more stable, and the aluminum alloy profile structure can absorb more energy when impacted, so it is safer and more comfortable.

(5) Strong standardized design and manufacturing adaptability
In modern large-scale industrial production, which material has stronger standardized design and manufacturing adaptability will be welcomed by designers and technologists, and will become one of the preferred materials for engineers and management workers.The advantage of aluminum profiles in this regard is that the investment in tools and molds is low, so the production cycle of parts is short, which can shorten the cycle of products to the market and reduce the amortization cost.
