Automobile lightweighting has become an important direction of automobile development. Commonly used lightweight materials include high-strength steel, aluminum alloy, carbon fiber composite materials, etc. Considering the weight reduction effect and cost of automobiles, aluminum alloy is undoubtedly the most cost-effective lightweight material at present. It has been widely used in automobile fuel tanks, four doors and two covers, body skins, trunk covers, automobile chassis, automobile wheels, automobile engine outer panels, automobile heat shields and other parts. 6061-O aluminum plate is used for aluminum alloy wheels with light weight.
As a supporting component for the driving of the car, the performance and service life of the wheel affect the safety and handling of the car, so its material selection and process manufacturing are highly valued. Under the trend of lightweighting, the use of aluminum alloy wheels is becoming more and more common. The raw material is mainly 6061 aluminum alloy, and the main alloying elements are magnesium and silicon. It has medium strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability, and good oxidation effect.
What are the advantages of aluminum alloy wheels?
Automobile wheels are made of 6061 aluminum alloy, which has the advantages of light weight, fast heat dissipation, good shock absorption performance, long tire life, safety and reliability, excellent size, good balance, and easy manufacturing. They stand out in the automotive industry and have great development potential.
At present, "replacing steel with aluminum" is an important technology to achieve lightweight automotive parts products. The development and industrialization upgrade of high-quality and low-cost aluminum alloy wheels has become a new trend in the development of the automotive manufacturing industry. As the application technology of aluminum alloys in lightweight automobiles becomes more and more mature, the amount of aluminum used in automobiles will continue to rise.
