5182 and 6101 Aluminum Alloys for Automobile

With the rise of new energy vehicles and the development of the energy Internet, busbars will replace standard cables and are widely used in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles, as well as in emerging industries such as robot manufacturing, smart grids, and photovoltaic equipment. In particular, soft busbars have become an important power transmission technology in the new energy field.

Soft busbar has the advantages of high transmission efficiency, safety and stability, and small footprint, so it is widely used in charging piles, power distribution cabinets, power replacement equipment and other fields.

6101 aluminum alloy has medium strength and high electrical conductivity and can be used for long-distance power transmission lines. Compared with traditional steel-core aluminum alloy stranded wire (ACSR), all-aluminum alloy stranded wire (AAAC) twisted from a single Al-Mg-Si alloy wire can well avoid electrical corrosion and can improve power transmission efficiency.

At the same time, the maintenance cost of transmission lines is reduced. More importantly, the Al-Mg-Si series alloys are heat-treatable strengthened alloys, and their strength and conductivity can be adjusted by solid solution + aging heat treatment.

ABS car panels have high requirements on the mechanical properties of aluminum plates, and have strict standards for the flanging performance and surface quality of the aluminum plates. The cold rolling rate of BS is generally required to reach 85%. Conventional aluminum alloys used for ABS include: 2002, 2117, 2036, 2037, 2038, 3004, 5052, 5182, 6009, 6010, 6015, 6016, 6111, etc. Except for 3004 and 5182 aluminum alloys which are used in the O state and 5052 alloy which are used in the H32 and H34 states, other alloys are used in the T4 state.

In terms of deep stamping performance and tensile strength, 5052 aluminum alloy is far less good than 5182 alloy. Therefore, the first choice aluminum alloy for inner panels of complex shapes is 5182-O aluminum sheet. Find 5182 o aluminum properties from Haomei Aluminum.

The car doors, hood panel and trunk lid all can choose 5182 aluminum alloy. Since the 5182 aluminum plate has excellent deformability, it can absorb the impact very well when it is hit by external forces, protecting the driver and passengers to a great extent.

The mainstream automobile aluminum sheet production technology: semi-continuous casting (direct chill casting, DC) to produce large- sized flat ingots- sawing the head and tail- cutting the surface- heating- high-temperature rolling in a large wide-width hot rolling unit- aluminum coil- cold rolling process to finished product thickness- heat treatment with air cushion continuous heat treatment furnace. If it is necessary to control the material microstructure and grain size, an intermediate annealing process can be added to the cold rolling pass.
