The water-cooled plate is an important component of the thermal management system of new energy vehicles, and it is usually used in load-bearing and corrosion-resistant environments. Therefore, when selecting the manufacturing material of the water-cooled plate, the strength and corrosion resistance of the material need to be considered.
Automobile water-cooled panels generally use aluminum brazing composite materials, and the process is mainly raw material stamping-cleaning-flux coating-riveting-brazing-testing-gluing and other processes. In order to ensure the stamping and stretching requirements of the water-cooled plate, the materials used are required to have good stretching ability. The 3003 h14 aluminum sheet has excellent performance and is currently the most widely used choice for automobile water-cooled plate.
The fenders are usually installed behind the four tires of the car, the front two are fixed on the left and right lower sills, and the rear two are fixed on the rear bumper. There are mainly aluminum alloy fender, cowhide fender, plastic fender, rubber fender. The aluminum alloy car fender is mainly made of 3003 aluminium alloy.
3003 aluminum belongs to the AL-Mn alloy. It is an anti-rust aluminum widely used. Its strength is higher than that of industrial pure aluminum. It has good corrosion resistance, good weldability, and poor machinability.
The condenser, evaporator, oil cooler and radiator in the automobile air-conditioning equipment and heat exchangers are 100% made of aluminum. 3003 aluminum plate is also used for this application.
The use of aluminum for the car body can reduce the weight of the whole car to a certain extent, realizing the lightweight of the car body, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions, improving fuel efficiency, and ensuring energy saving effect to a greater extent. There are 5182, 5083, 5086,etc are used in the truck compartment.
The strength, toughness, and fatigue strength of forged aluminum alloy wheels are significantly better than those of cast aluminum alloy wheels, and they also have the advantages of good corrosion resistance, precise dimensions, small processing volume, and strong performance reproducibility.
It mainly uses Al-Mg alloy and Al-Si-Mg alloy. 5xxx aluminum alloy is the most commonly used deformed aluminum alloy in wheel forging, mainly including: 5052-O, 5154-O, 5454-O, 5086-O, 5083 aluminum plate. 5xxx forged aluminum alloy wheels have high corrosion resistance and are suitable for manufacturing wheels working in extreme environments.
