Aluminium alloy for car body panels in automotive manufacturing include 5000 series 5, 6000 series and 7000series. These aluminum plates are usually in temper such as O, H111, and H22, and have good machinability, strength, and corrosion resistance.
The following are the common characteristics and applicable temper of aluminium alloy for car body:
- 5000 series aluminium alloy plates:
Mainly refers to 5xxx series aluminium alloy plates, such as 5052, 5083, etc.. These aluminium alloy plates have good corrosion resistance and strength and are suitable for the manufacture of automobile body panels. Commonly used tempers are O, H111, H22, etc.
- 6000 series aluminium alloy plate:
Mainly refers to the 6xxx series of aluminium alloy plate, such as 6061, 6063, etc.. These aluminium alloy plates have excellent mechanical properties and welding performance, suitable for the manufacture of automobile body panels. Commonly used tempers are O, T4, T6 and so on.
- 7000 series aluminium alloy plate:
Mainly refers to the 7xxx series of aluminium alloy plate, such as 7075 and so on. These aluminium alloy plates have high strength and fatigue resistance, and are suitable for the manufacture of automobile body panels. Commonly used tempers are O, T6, etc.
The following are the common specifications of aluminium alloy plates used as auto body sheet in general:
– Thickness: the thickness of aluminum plates for car body panels usually ranges from 1.0mm to 6.0mm, commonly used thicknesses include 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, etc. Other thicknesses can also be customized according to specific needs.
– Width: The width of aluminum sheet for car body panels usually ranges from 1000mm to 2000mm, commonly used widths include 1250mm, 1500mm, etc., and other widths can also be customized according to specific needs.
– Length: The length of aluminum sheet for car body panels usually ranges from 2000mm to 6000mm, and other lengths can also be customized according to specific needs.
Aluminium alloy plates are usually deep-drawn, stamped, bent and welded in the manufacturing of car body panels to meet the strength, lightweight and design requirements of the body structure. According to the specific vehicle design and manufacturing needs, you can choose the appropriate aluminium alloy plate material and state, specifications and dimensions, in order to achieve excellent body performance, structure and appearance effects.
