The Use of 6101 and 7075 Aluminum Sheet in Automobile Making

Aluminum is widely used in the lightweight automotive industry for its high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and excellent formability and machinability. It can reduce the weight of the car, reduce energy consumption, and reduce emissions.

The aluminium alloys used in cars include 5000 series, 6000 series, and 7000 series. These alloys have excellent strength, stiffness, and corrosion resistance, as well as good formability, which can meet the requirements of automotive structure and appearance parts.

Aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy is the most commonly used aluminum alloy in wires and cables, which are 6101 and 6201 alloys, with tempers of T1 and T4. 6101 aluminum alloy is often used to process high-strength busbar conductors. After introducing pre-strain and pre-aging on the basis of artificial aging, 6101 aluminum properties including the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity are improved.

One of the main characteristics of 6016 aluminum sheet is its formability. In the automobile manufacturing process, 6016 aluminum sheet is usually processed into parts of various shapes and sizes. For example, it can be processed into body covers, chassis supports and connectors, etc.

At present, the aluminum alloy sheets for automobile bodies used for stamping are mainly three grades of aluminum alloys: AA6016, AA6022 and AA6111. 6111 is an aluminum alloy used for automobile covering parts. Its favorable properties include corrosion resistance and precipitation hardening resistance.

The strongest aluminum alloy in the industrial aluminum alloy family is the 7 series aluminum alloy, which is mainly used in the aerospace field. It has been used in the body structure. For example, some structural parts of the ES6 model use 7075 aluminum plate and the ES8 model uses AA7075 aluminum profiles.

7075 aluminum sheet is widely used in the automotive field. In automobile manufacturing, it is used to manufacture important parts such as engine hoods, doors, and frames. Due to its high strength and light weight, it can improve the collision performance and fuel efficiency of automobiles. In addition, 7075 t6 aluminum is also used to manufacture structural and decorative parts of rail transit vehicles, with the characteristics of corrosion resistance and beauty.
