Many people do not know which is better between aluminum and steel. Aluminum refers to aluminum alloys, and the cost of aluminum alloys is several times higher than that of steel.
The advantages of aluminum alloy as body cover:
1. Weight reduction: Lightweight is very helpful to increase the handling of the car and reduce fuel consumption. Why is every generation of luxury cars losing weight? Not because of cutting corners, but because of the addition of aluminum.
2. Improve the strength of the body: increase the safety of the car, under the same strength, half of the aluminum alloy is equivalent to steel.
3. The energy absorption and collapse ability of aluminum is stronger: it can better protect the occupants of the car.
4. Corrosion resistance
5. Plasticity
Expensive things must be expensive, for example: CT6 XEL, its four doors and two covers are aluminum alloys (hood, trunk cover).
Aluminum Sheet Plate For Auto
Two myths about cars:
1. Think that the heavier the car, the more stable it is
With the advancement of technology, the car has not been heavier and more stable. The Mavericks stuffed a 10-cylinder engine with a weight of just over 1.4 tons. Whether the car is stable or not depends not on the weight of the car, but more importantly on the tuning of its chassis.
2. It is believed that the cover of the all-aluminum body cannot be repaired by sheet metal
In fact, all-aluminum cars can be repaired with sheet metal, but the process of repairing sheet metal between aluminum alloy and steel is different. The purpose of replacing steel with aluminum for Mercedes-Benz E-Class is to increase the aluminum coverage of the body.
