Development and application of lightweight aluminum

Time:2019.08.03 Hits:1568

[Editor]: 2019 is a year of continuous and rapid development of automotive lightweighting. In the automotive lightweight industry chain, whether it is car companies, aluminum companies/magnesium companies, technical equipment and auxiliary materials companies, all companies cooperate closely, aluminum/magnesium Light alloys continue to make new achievements in automotive lightweight applications. It is worth mentioning that in 2019, many factors led to the first decline in my country's automobile production and sales in 30 years, but the average consumption of aluminum/magnesium light alloy per automobile has continued to rise rapidly. As a new lightweight material for automobiles, aluminum/magnesium light alloy Total consumption is still on the track of rapid growth. In order to summarize the 2019 outlook for 2020, the research unit of aluminum/magnesium light alloy application market-Beijing Baihui Fanglue Information Consulting Co., Ltd. edited the "Review of 10 Major Events in the Development and Application of China's Automotive Lightweight Aluminum/Magnesium Light Alloy in 2019 and 2020 Outlook", Share with industry professionals who are concerned about the application and development of lightweight aluminum/magnesium alloys for automobiles in China (WeChat exchange 15611766649).

 Shandong Weiqiao Pioneering Group Co., Ltd. invested in the construction of a lightweight base and an aluminum deep processing industrial park to implement the high-quality development of China's aluminum industry in the new era

In 2019, Shandong Weiqiao Venture Group takes new energy vehicles, intelligent connected vehicles and energy-saving vehicles as the industry orientation, combined with the development plan of Binzhou City, Shandong Province to build a tens of billions of automotive industry bases, and give full play to the industry of Shandong Weiqiao aluminum power resources Taking advantage of clusters, invest in the construction of Weiqiao Lightweight Base and Weiqiao Aluminum Precision Deep Processing Industrial Park. Weiqiao lightweight base projects include Binzhou aluminum lightweight structural parts high-end manufacturing base project, Aojie Automobile's annual production capacity of 500,000 all-aluminum body assemblies project and Shandong Weiqiao lightweight pilot base project. In the Weiqiao Aluminum Deep Processing Industrial Park project, the second phase of the Beiqi Group’s lightweight automotive parts project, the CITIC Dicastal Group’s automotive wheel project, the Hebei Lizhong Group’s high-grade aluminum alloy deep processing and automotive casting rotary wheel projects, which involve automotive lightweighting, Taiwan The second phase of Liuhe Group's automobile wheel hub project is under construction. (Note: The "Seventh China Automotive, Rail Transit Lightweight Technology and Aluminum/Magnesium Light Alloy Application Cooperation Summit in 2020" jointly organized by Shandong Aluminum Association and Beijing Baihui Fanglue Information Consulting Co., Ltd. will be held in April 2020 From 9th to 10th, it will be held in Zouping City, Shandong Province, the aluminum capital of China. At that time, industry authoritative experts will conduct a comprehensive analysis of the case of the national-level Weiqiao lightweight base project).

The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology "The First Batch Application Demonstration Catalogue of Key New Materials (2019 Edition)" (draft for comments), there are four types of automotive aluminum materials and two traffic magnesium materials shortlisted

On September 23, 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Guiding Catalogue for the First Batch Application Demonstration of Key New Materials (2019 Edition)" (Draft for Solicitation of Comments), for high-performance automobiles with alloy grades of 5505, 5182, 5754, and 6016 Aluminum alloy sheets, aluminum alloy strips for power battery shells of new energy vehicles, aluminum foils for high-performance power batteries of new energy vehicles and 6xxx series aluminum alloy profiles for automobiles are included. In addition, a magnesium alloy wheel hub and non-rare earth high-performance magnesium alloy extrusion materials for automobiles, rail transit, and aerospace are also included.

The 2020 (seventh) China Automotive, Rail Transit Lightweight Technology and Aluminum/Magnesium Light Alloy Application Cooperation Summit jointly organized by Shandong Aluminum Association and Beijing Baihui Fanglue Information Consulting Co., Ltd. will be held on April 9-10, 2020 The day was held in Zouping City, Shandong Province, the aluminum capital of China. The cooperation results of participating companies are expected to be greater than in previous years. At present, this conference is the only professional conference (Tel: 15611766649) in China dedicated to the cooperation of lightweight aluminum/magnesium alloys in transportation.

Looking ahead to 2020

With the introduction of China's "New Energy Automobile Industry Development Plan (2021-2035)" and the country's full implementation of highway truck weighing inspection, the continued advancement of automobile lightweight will continue throughout 2020. Beijing Baihui Fanglue Information Consulting Co., Ltd. market The research team predicts that in 2020, aluminum/magnesium light alloys will show the following characteristics in the lightweight operation of automobiles:

In view of the large gap between the proportion of aluminum/magnesium light alloy in China's transportation and European and American countries, powerful aluminum/magnesium material processing companies and aluminum/magnesium alloy casting companies will continue to adjust and optimize their product structure, and focus on automobiles, rail transit, Transformation layout in 3C communication market.

 Newly-built transportation aluminum/magnesium light alloy materials or parts processing projects will be positioned in advantageous areas, and investment destinations will take into account user concentrated consumption areas or areas with abundant raw material resources and low cost.

 New energy vehicle OEMs and power batteries and other parts and components industries are moving from disorderly large-scale investment and construction to a phased re-optimization process of survival of the fittest, positioning themselves in the supply of aluminum/magnesium light alloy materials and parts in the field of new energy vehicles Merchants are more important in channel research and implementation. What we need to emphasize is that the development of new energy vehicles is a national development strategy, and the lightweight aluminum/magnesium alloys for new energy vehicles should be included in the corporate development plan. For companies that have entered the late start of aluminum/magnesium light alloys for new energy vehicles, 2020 will be a period of "curving overtaking".

All-aluminum passenger cars, steel-aluminum hybrid passenger cars, all-aluminum passenger cars and all-aluminum logistics commercial vehicles will become representative models of light-weight Chinese automobiles. The automobile production of the above models with high aluminization rate will continue to achieve year-on-year growth in 2020. (Views of Beijing Baihui market research team, for reference only)

In 2019, China's automobile production and sales have begun to enter a stable period, and production and sales may continue to decline slightly, or stabilize a small growth. No matter what the trajectory is, it will not affect the rapid growth trend of average bicycle aluminum and magnesium. (Views of Beijing Baihui market research team, for reference only)
