Good formability automotive sheet stress corrosion cracking performance
Description of aluminum sheet:
We have to say aluminum is so versatile that should be further developed and used.
We all know that the history of aluminum in China is not so long as America and European countries. And we keep exploring the advantages of aluminum in automotive industries, we believe auspicious beginning is now.
Advantages | Description |
Increase performance | Aluminum sheet can make body panels more thicker and light weight. And a light weight vehicle has better performance on acceleration, braking and handling. |
Save fuel energy and reduce emissions | When applied to an automotive body structure, aluminum use saves the equivalent of 108 million barrels of oil. |
Use recycled | Nearly 90 percent aluminum is recycled as well as aluminum body panel |
