Excellent machinability and low density of aluminum profiles for battery trays
Release Time:
2022-08-26
The power batteries of new energy vehicles, due to their inherent weight disadvantages and differences in specific energy requirements, have an urgent need for lightweighting in the entire vehicle subsystem. Under the condition of ensuring battery functional safety, reducing the weight of the key structural component tray, which accounts for 20-30% of the net weight of the battery system software, has become one of the key improvement goals. From the perspective of comprehensive material index evaluation, aluminum alloy materials can meet the requirements of vehicle components, including battery system structures, and are still the best choice to replace some steel structures. However, high-strength steel is still on the path of lightweighting technology, and the application of aluminum alloy materials is a constant competition. The cost of aluminum profiles for battery trays is higher, but the excellent machinability, low density (the relative density of aluminum alloy is 2.7g/cm³), corrosion resistance, and high recyclability of aluminum profiles for battery trays are obvious advantages, and are still a key indicator of the lightweighting process of electric new energy vehicles. The connection between the global aluminum industry's sustainable development trend and automotive engineering Audi is the world's first automotive company to obtain the Aluminum Stewardship Initiative (ASI) certificate. Based on the high energy consumption and environmental impact of the aluminum industry, and the health of the supply chain, in order to ensure aluminum
The power batteries of new energy vehicles, due to their inherent weight disadvantages and discrepancies in specific energy requirements, have an urgent need for lightweight design among all vehicle component subsystems. Ensuring battery functional safety, reducing the weight of key structural components, such as the tray, which accounts for 20-30% of the net weight of the battery system software, becomes one of the key improvement goals.
From the perspective of comprehensive material index evaluation, aluminum alloy can not only meet the structural requirements of vehicle components, including battery systems, but is also an excellent alternative material to replace some steel structures. However, high-strength steel is still pursuing lightweight technology, and the application of aluminum alloy is a constant competition.
Aluminum profile for battery tray Although the cost is higher, the excellent machinability, low density (the relative density of aluminum alloy is 2.7g/cm³), corrosion resistance, and high recyclability of aluminum profiles for battery trays have obvious advantages and are key indicators in achieving lightweight design for electric new energy vehicles.
The sustainable development trend of global aluminum companies and the connection with automotive engineering. Audi is the world's first automotive company to obtain the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative (ASI) certification.
Considering the high energy consumption and environmental impact of the aluminum industry, as well as the health of the supply chain, to ensure the sustainable application and development of aluminum in automobiles, Audi obtained ASI certification on October 12, 2018.
AUBernd Marten, member of the Procurement and IT Committee, said: "Audi attaches great importance to the sustainable value and management of materials". AUBernd indicated that as a key component of the electric Audi e-tron, Audi will gradually implement management and approval of the development, procurement, and processing of as many aluminum components as possible in its global factories. In addition, Audi plans to ensure a long-term sustainable supply of aluminum materials through certified ASI partners and their respective upstream suppliers.
ASI is a global aluminum industry management initiative organization.
ASI (The Aluminium Stewardship Initiative) is a non-profit organization focused on setting and certifying global aluminum customer value standards.
ASI Aluminum Industry Performance Standard: Standards set for aluminum customer value and responsible production.
ASI Corporate Vision: To maximize aluminum's contribution to a sustainable society.
ASI Mission: To recognize and collaboratively promote responsible production, responsible procurement, and corporate governance of aluminum.
ASI values include:
·Making our work and decision-making processes more diverse by encouraging and promoting the participation of representatives of all stakeholders.
·Encouraging participation from aluminum ore, alumina to aluminum customers, from mines to downstream aluminum product customers.
·Promoting material stewardship throughout the life cycle of aluminum to ensure shared responsibility in the mining, production, use, and recycling of aluminum.
