6016 5754 Aluminum for Car Door Panel

Automotive aluminum sheets are widely used in the automobile manufacturing industry. They ae well known for light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance and good forming performance. The use of automobile aluminum sheet can effectively reduce the overall weight of the car, improve fuel economy, and provide better safety performance and driving experience.

At present, the most widely used automotive aluminum sheets in the world are: AA6016, AA6022, AA6111, AA6005, AA6009 and AA6010, AA5182, AA5754, AA5052, etc. For example: Audi A8 uses 6016 alloy as car body sheet, Jaguar XJ220 and GM EV1 use 5754 aluminum plate as body cover material.

Based on the superior performance of 5754 aluminum sheet itself, it is favored by automobile manufacturers and is widely used in the production of automobile door inner panels, structural parts, and trunk covers. It has the advantages of high strength, good plasticity, high specific strength, good welding performance, strong temperature resistance, good corrosion resistance, and high fatigue strength.

6016 aluminum alloy is one of the main products of 6 series alloys and an important alloy for 6 series alloys to enter the automotive field. 6016 plates can already meet the highest requirements of some automobile manufacturers for outer panels of covering parts.

6016 t4 aluminum is mainly used for the car outer door. It has lower strength and better formability before stamping. Baking after stamping further increases the yield strength, thereby increasing the dent resistance of the cover made of it.

Although its strength cannot be compared with 2XXX series or 7XXX series, its magnesium and silicon alloys have many properties, including processability, excellent characteristics and electroplating properties, good corrosion resistance, high toughness and no deformation after processing.

One of the main factors affecting the wide-scale application of aluminum alloy automotive sheets is cost and price; however, with the increase in aluminum alloy sheet production and the decline in sheet manufacturing costs, the cost of aluminum alloy sheet stampings will drop significantly, while aluminum alloy lightweighting effect will be more significan. Haomei Aluminum has been devoted to providing 5xxx and 6xxx automotive aluminum sheets.
