The important role of aluminum alloy profiles in the automotive industry

The automobile industry currently uses the most aluminum. China is the world's largest automobile producer. Therefore, the application of aluminum in Chinese automobiles and the deep processing of automobile aluminum have great potential.

According to the National Development and Reform Commission, 600 million people and a quarter of China are suffering from ubiquitous haze weather, and the CO2 emitted by cars accounts for 27% of the total emissions. The continuous increase in car ownership makes environmental problems facing The challenges are even more severe. All of these call for the green development of the automotive industry. Using as much aluminum as possible to make cars is the most direct and effective measure and way to achieve energy saving and emission reduction in the current lightweight of cars.

Under multiple pressures such as environmental pollution and fuel economy, lightweight vehicles have reached a consensus in the global market. Aluminum alloy can reduce the weight of the car body by 40%, and it has become the main component of the body lightweight. "Aluminum instead of steel" is imperative, and automotive aluminum is no longer stuck in written proposals or theoretical demonstrations. Many foreign automobile manufacturers have already taken the lead.

At the 2015 Frankfurt Auto Show, Jaguar's first all-aluminum SUV model officially made its world premiere. After years of hard work, my country's auto manufacturers have also been able to promote aluminum alloys in automobiles. The high-end aluminum alloy sheet, aluminum alloy extrusion technology, and aluminum alloy deep processing capabilities have matured. In the future, the automotive aluminum alloy automobile market has huge potential. In 2020, the automotive aluminum alloy market space is about 250 billion yuan.
