6000 Aluminum Alloy for Boot Cover

Publish Time: 2022-01-10      Origin:https://www.hmaluminumsupply.com

Aluminum alloys are widely used in automobiles like power and transmission systems, interior and exterior panel, boot cover, whee, car door,etc. At present, in the application of aluminum alloys for auto parts, cast aluminum alloys are the main products.

The amount of aluminum used in four types of products such as engine block and cylinder head, transmission case, radiator, and wheels accounts for nearly a quarter of the total amount of aluminum alloys in automobiles. The aluminum used for body and cover parts is about 10% and the rest is used in steering, braking, suspension and other system components.

The amount of aluminum alloy used is also very different on different levels of models. According to the survey data of the Aluminum Association of America, statistics on the amount of aluminum used in various models in the North American market in 2015 show that the amount of aluminum used in miniature cars and compact cars is the least, with an average of 251.6 pounds per vehicle.

The amount of aluminum used in small cars, medium cars, and large cars increased sequentially, and the amount of aluminum alloy used in large cars reached 546.9 pounds. The average amount of aluminum used in MPVs, SUVs, and pickups is basically more than 400 pounds.

Automotive aluminum sheets are mainly used for body panels, including four doors and two covers (front and rear doors, hood, boot cover). 6016 t4 aluminum can be used for the boot cover.

In the car body, aluminum sheet materials, extruded profiles, and vacuum die castings all have a certain proportion. The average usage per vehicle of rolled aluminum sheets will increase from 42 pounds to 150 pounds, with an average annual growth rate of 13.58%.

The raw materials used in body structures and cover are 6xxx Al-Mg-Si alloys and 5xxx Al-Mg alloys. Auto panels are key parts of the car body. They have high requirements on forming accuracy and surface quality. 6xxx aluminum alloy like the bending 6061 aluminum has high strength, good plasticity and excellent corrosion resistance. It is the most mainstream aluminum alloy for cars.

6xxx aluminum is generally used in body structural parts such as roof, trunk lid, and door. It can be strengthened by heat treatment. After baking in the paint shop, its strength and dent resistance of the parts can be significantly improved, which is widely used in the production of outer panel.
