Lightweight materials for automobile chassis

Nowadays, automobiles have become an important means of transportation for passenger transport, bringing comfort to people, but also energy and environmental crises. As a result, automakers are currently exploring ways to reduce exhaust emissions. The fuel consumption of a car directly depends on the weight of the car. The chassis system is an important part of the car. The engine, axle, gearbox, differential, etc. and the suspension system are all installed on the chassis. The weight of the chassis system accounts for about 30% of the total weight of the car. As mentioned above, the lightweight of the chassis system can not only reduce fuel consumption, but also have an important impact on the comfort of the vehicle.

Aluminum alloy materials have the advantages of low density, light weight, good formability, recyclability, energy saving and environmental protection, etc., and are undoubtedly the first choice for the modernization and lightweight of the automotive industry. The aluminum alloy commonly used in automobile chassis is 6061 aluminum plate.

The 6061 aluminum plate is an Al-Mg-Si alloy, which has excellent processing properties, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, no deformation after processing, and good oxidation efficiency. It meets the aluminum requirements for automobile chassis.

Advantages of aluminum plate for automobile chassis:

1. Lightweight. All aluminum is at least 100kg lighter than traditional steel. Improve power, fuel economy, and handling.

2. Corrosion resistance. Durability is higher than steel.

3. Safer. The energy absorption of aluminum is twice that of ordinary steel.
