5182-O aluminum sheet applied to the automotive inside hoods

5182-O aluminum sheet is a regular material for automotive inside hoods. In the global trend of environmental protection, the automobile industry aims to deal with issues about energy saving, material recycling and safer driving. The mechanical properties and manufacturing process of aluminium make it a good choice of automotive materials second only to steel. The advantageous feature of aluminium over any other auto metal lies in its low density, which makes an aluminium car much lighter than traditional cars. In particular, 5000 series of aluminium, represented by 5182, is even lighter than alloys of other series.

5182 aluminum sheet for auto has good hardness, anodizing property and tensile strength. 5182 anti-rust aluminum is an Al-Mg series alloy. Because its aging strengthening effect is not obvious, it is not suitable for heat treatment strengthening, but the strength and hardness can be improved by work hardening. The main performance characteristic of this type of alloy is its excellent corrosion resistance, so it is called anti-rust aluminum. 5182 sheet is used to process auto body panels, control panels, reinforcements, brackets and other parts. An automotive inside hood generally refers to the baffle above the position of important starting parts such as the engine on the motor vehicle. It must be in medium strength and excellent in corrosion resistance. 5182-O auto aluminum sheet just meets these requirements.

5182 hood aluminum sheet makes a car safer, lighter and more beautiful. Good tensile strength of the sheet helps the car hood to resist shocks of impact in a more effective way, so that the driver and co-driver would be protected as much as possible. Low density of 5182 makes a car lighter, and outstanding anodizing property of 5xxx series enables car manufacturers to decorate the car with fashionable colors. These reasons contribute to the popularity of 5182 aluminum sheet in auto building.
