Looking at the world, there are only a handful of auto companies that have the ability to make all-aluminum bodywork. How can this technology in the “pyramid tip” change our car?
Since the advent of new methods for electrolytic alumina, aluminum has been mass-produced and widely used, and has gradually replaced steel with high density, heavy weight, and rust, and has been applied to the manufacture of aircraft and ocean-going vessels. In terms of industrial manufacturing, in addition to its great weight advantage, aluminum has excellent rust resistance and durability in various environments.

The use of aluminum alloys also offers significant advantages such as lower fuel consumption, better acceleration and braking. Therefore, “taking care” is one of the most important duties of engineers.
Take the newly-launched new Jaguar XFL as an example. Although its length is better than that of its competitors, the aluminum profile is only 297 kg by weight, thanks to the use of up to 75% of the aluminum alloy. The extensive use of aluminum alloys also helps to promote environmental sustainability. Statistics show that for every kilogram of vehicle weight lost, the fuel saved during the life cycle will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 17 kilograms.
For most car styling teams, the most painful thing is to design a moving curve that is dragged down by limited processes. The appearance of aluminum components has achieved the perfect concept of the designer.
RC5754 high-strength aluminum alloy with the highest usage rate, high strength and excellent forming ability, mainly used for body reinforcement; AC300T61 aluminum alloy has high strength and high energy absorption, suitable for manufacturing body collision structure; AC170 aluminum alloy flexibility Outstanding, it's great for making a body exterior cover with a complex curvature. The one-piece stamping side panel is stamped from a single piece of high-strength 6000 series aluminum alloy sheet to create a more pure and textured visual experience for the vehicle.
