1. Core Advantages
Lightweighting
The density of aluminum profiles is about 1/3 of that of steel, which significantly reduces the weight of the vehicle and improves fuel efficiency or the range of electric vehicles.
High Strength and Safety
The 6-series aluminum profiles (such as 6063-T5) achieve a tensile strength of 160-260 MPa through heat treatment (T5/T6 state), meeting the collision energy absorption requirements of the vehicle body.
High-rigidity aluminum profiles are used for battery pack frames to protect the battery pack from impact deformation (such as the chassis protection structure of electric vehicles).
Corrosion resistance and long life
Natural oxide film and surface treatment can enhance the automotive aluminum profile's resistance to salt spray and humid environment corrosion, and extend the service life of components (such as door frames and chassis parts).
Processing flexibility and integrated design
The extrusion molding process can customize complex cross-section profiles and adapt to integrated structures (such as roof rack rails and door anti-collision beams).
Supports a variety of connection methods such as welding and riveting to simplify the assembly process.
2. Typical application scenarios
Body structure parts
Frame and anti-collision beams: Aluminum profiles are used for A/B pillar reinforcements, front and rear anti-collision beams, balancing lightweight and collision safety.
Roof and doors: Hollow aluminum profiles lower the center of gravity while improving torsional rigidity (such as convertible roof support frame).
Power and chassis system
Battery pack housing: 6 series aluminum profiles are used to manufacture lightweight battery trays, taking into account thermal conductivity and electromagnetic shielding requirements.
Suspension parts: Forged aluminum control arms and steering knuckles reduce unsprung mass and improve control response speed.
Interior and exterior trims
Decorative strips and door sills: Anodizing or electrophoresis processes achieve automotive aluminum profile metal texture surfaces (such as window chrome trims and welcome pedals).
Radiator grille: Hollow aluminum profiles optimize air intake efficiency while reducing wind resistance coefficient.
Functional components
Thermal management system: Aluminum profiles are used to manufacture radiator frames and air conditioning pipes to improve heat exchange efficiency.
Wire harness protection slot: Corrosion-resistant aluminum profiles are used to wrap high-voltage cables to prevent short-circuit risks (such as high-voltage line protection for electric vehicles).
