AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY & ALUMINUM EXTRUSION PROFILES

Automotive industry and the huge growth of car ownership has a great influence on the work and life of the people. Nowadays each car manufacturers are targeting on producing light weight, energy saving, low cost, safety, comfort and environment protection cars. High strength aluminum or aluminum extrusion profiles are used by most car manufacturers.

• Light weight of the automobile is the thing most manufacturers want but the vehicle’s performance should not be affected by this so to ensure comfort and safety the auto- manufacturers should be targeted to reduce the weight of the automobile without having any effect on the cost.
• The most important part of the vehicle life cycle cost is the cost of the fuel consumption. To save the later running cost, automobile users are very keen to reduce the consumption cost of the fuel. The weight of the automobile affects the acceleration resistance, climbing resistance and rolling resistance so its relationship is very close to the fuel consumption. So, for reducing the fuel consumption, light- weight vehicle need to be manufactured.
• The most direct and effective method of light weighting is the use of light weight materials with high intensity and small density like aluminum or magnesium alloy. Mainly the high strength aluminum alloy series have high degree of commercialization. It could reduce the vehicle weight by 30% to 50%.

So, aluminum has a broad application prospects in the automobile industry. And because of the excellent specific strength, ultra- high strength aluminum has the vital role in the development of automotive industry. aluminum extrusion profiles .
