due to many problems such as electric vehicle development, air pollution, material recycling and so on, aluminum replacement is becoming one of the solutions for automotive lightweight.

    fully understand the development trend and trend of vehicle aluminum replacement. In North America, aluminum substitution has taken the lead in the world, and has begun to spread to high-volume cars. The 2015 F-150 models released by Ford sounded the horn of the popularity of all aluminum materials.

    F-150 is the first high production vehicle using all aluminum body in the world. After the whole aluminum car is used, the weight of the whole vehicle will be reduced by 317kg, and the fuel economy is expected to be increased by 15% to 20%. It is reported that F-150 is Ford’s classic pickup, ranking the top ten best selling cars in the United States for many years. F-150 costs about US $30 thousand in North America, and it belongs to the mid range vehicle. Ford F-150 uses all aluminum body, marking the beginning of large-scale aluminum alloy materials used in the traditional car factory, and the all aluminum body began to popularize to the mid end vehicle.

    the most promising vehicle at present is electric vehicles. In the same range of distance, the capacity of the aluminum body is less than that of the steel body because the weight of the aluminum electric vehicle is less than the steel electric vehicle. Although the cost of the aluminum body is high, it saves the battery cost and makes the all aluminum electric vehicle price advantage.

    if the aluminum alloy is completely replaced, the structure design of the vehicle parts and the overall safety design of the vehicle are higher. At the same time, the original welding line of the manufacturer should be completely reformed. These problems are all system engineering problems. A large number of aluminum alloys may be more suitable for the new high-end production lines.

    aluminum plays an important role in the automotive industry, and Hongcheng is constantly innovating to provide customers with aluminum casting products.
