Aluminum alloys sheet for automotive application car roof and trim
Description of aluminium sheet:
Aluminum is used commonly for such automotive parts as heat
insulators, body panels, handles, suspension components, frames,
pistons because of its light weight, workability, and
recyclability. And its market share continues to increase
sharply. The 5000 and 6000 aluminum alloys are used most
extensively for automotive applications.
Problems of the replacement of the steel car roof by a aluminum alloy roo
The replacement of the steel roof panel by a lightweight aluminium alloy roof panel is a tread to optimize the mass distribution in a car. However there exist problems because the remainder of the vehicle body structure continues to be fabricated in steel, such as the realization of a reliable joint between the different materials, and the different thermal expansion coefficient of aluminium and steel. Various technologies have been developed to join aluminium to steel.
Cases of aluminum roof of a car:
Ford firstly attempted to apply the integration of structural aluminium components into the roof of a steel car body on a small electric city car Ford THINK. And Maybach and Range Rover and some luxury cars once use aluminum roofs.
