What is the application prospect of aluminum profile lightweight in the automotive industry
May 31, 2024
The application prospect of aluminum profile lightweight in the automotive industry is very broad, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. ** Strong demand growth ** :
- With the acceleration of the electrification trend, the demand for automotive aluminum processing has ushered in an explosion. The new three-electric system (battery, motor, electric control) has brought rapid development of aluminum products such as battery aluminum foil and battery tray. At the same time, the increasingly complex requirements for thermal management systems in batteries have opened up the market for thermit transfer materials.
2. ** Great potential for lightweight ** :
Lightweight is the key to improving the driving range of new energy vehicles, and aluminum is the best lightweight metal at present. According to statistics, every 10% reduction in car weight, fuel consumption can be reduced by 8%, and emissions can be reduced by 4%. Therefore, aluminum alloys play a crucial role in reducing vehicle weight and improving energy efficiency.
3. ** Policy support and promotion ** :
- Government departments have clear goals and plans for automobile lightweight. For example, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology "energy-saving and new energy vehicle technology roadmap" proposed that China's automotive lightweight bicycle aluminum target in 2025 and 2030 respectively to achieve 250kg/ vehicle and 350kg/ vehicle, which will further promote the application of aluminum in the automotive industry.
4. ** Technological innovation to promote the application ** :
- The innovation of integrated die casting and other technologies has truly released the shackles of high lightweight cost of aluminum from a technical point of view, providing unlimited possibilities for aluminum replacement steel. This technology can significantly shorten the casting manufacturing cycle, improve the material recovery rate, reduce costs, while giving the body structural parts a greater advantage in terms of cost and performance.
5. ** Wide application of aluminum profiles ** :
Aluminum profiles are not only used in body structure, but also widely used in doors, window frames, engine components, suspension systems, braking systems and interior parts. This diverse application further proves the important role and broad prospects of aluminum profiles in the automotive industry.
In summary, with the popularity of the concept of automotive lightweight and the accelerated development of the trend of electrification, the application prospect of aluminum profile lightweight in the automotive industry will be broader. Driven by many factors, such as strong demand growth, huge lightweight potential, policy support and technological innovation, aluminum profiles will occupy a more important position in the future automotive industry.
