If you've ever paid attention to a new car launch, there's a word you should hear every time. Yes, it's "weight loss"!
Whether it's a family car, a luxury car or even a hard off-road vehicle.
"Weight loss" for any level of cars, is an extremely important part of the time node of the update.
So to speak, it is better to lose one kilogram than to increase 10 horsepower.
Automobile lightweight is the general trend. As a product with potential demand in the future, aluminum alloy automobile plate is increasingly becoming an important R & D and production target of aluminum plate and strip manufacturers at home and abroad.
However, in the development of automobile lightweight, aluminum alloy automobile plate, an indispensable important material, is still mainly imported.
Aiming at the new energy vehicle lightweight aluminum plate, which is the pain point of domestic materials, Chinalco group gives full play to its advantages in the whole industrial chain and carries out industrial design in advance. As the southeast coastal aluminum strip deep processing base planned by Chinalco group, Chinalco Ruimin is ready to remove the crown jewel of aluminum alloy automobile plate.
Under the strong support and guidance of the leadership of Chinalco group, Chinalco Ruimin seized the appropriate market entry point, launched the production line of aluminum alloy plate and strip for automobile lightweight in 2018, and opened an extraordinary road for Chinalco Ruimin in the application of new materials and new technologies for new energy vehicles.
Break open a way through bramble and Thistle
On March 5 this year, a silver aluminum plate was sent to the stamping die by the manipulator. This is the stamping test of the first aluminum plate of Chinalco Ruimin automobile in the downstream new energy automobile main engine plant. With the sound of "bang", a concave and convex front engine cover plate perfectly appeared in front of everyone, and the staff of the main engine plant smiled, which means that they have widened the supply channel of raw materials Avenue.
The automotive industry has strict quality control over raw material suppliers and high requirements for after-sales service, which is the top in mass production of civil products. Many main engine factories lack of technology accumulation are difficult to put forward clear requirements for lightweight aluminum alloy automobile plate. Prior to the construction of the project, Chinalco Ruimin has integrated the internal forces of the enterprise, established a new product development team for automobile panels, and mobilized the experienced engineers and technicians on site and scientific research and development to carry out the pre research on lightweight new materials and technologies.
The development group accumulated the data parameters of aluminum alloy automobile materials by various ways such as attending the meeting and visiting, and used the existing equipment conditions for trial production to explore the process. The developers carried the board for sampling, testing and analysis thousands of times, followed up the discussion day and night, and formed a report, which provided the basis for the final decision-making of the managers.
