Because of aluminum’s intrinsic characteristics and properties, both the passenger and commercial vehicle industries extensively utilize this metal. Why? Above all, aluminum is a lightweight material. When used in automobiles, it can significantly enhance performance and improve fuel economy. Not only that, but aluminum is strong. It is because of the strength-to-weight ratio that aluminum is so valuable in the transportation industry. Vehicular performance enhancements do not come at the compromise of safety. With its high strength and low weight, safety for drivers and passengers is improved. Let the team at Howard Precision Metals supply you with the quality aluminum products you need for your auto manufacturing requirements.
![[Image: single_blog_1.jpg]](http://www.automotive-aluminum-plate.com/assets/img/blog/single_blog_1.jpg)
Seen here, aluminum is the second most commonly used metal in the automotive industry. Common uses include: spokes, structural components, gauges, rotors, wheels, rotors, and much, much more.
[size=1]Automotive Applications
Every pound of aluminum used in an automobile, in lieu of steel, reduces the overall vehicular weight by a pound. This metal allows for safer and more efficient vehicles to enter the roadways. Over the years, aluminum has continued to increase in its popularity within the automotive manufacturing industry. Currently, it is the second most often used metal in vehicles, trailing only steel. Furthermore, this metal is versatile. It can be utilized to produce engines, transmissions, suspension, wheels, brake components, frames, magnets for tachometers and speedometers, electrical wiring, air conditioner components, and even parts of the body. Aluminum is strong, efficient, safe, recyclable, and abundant. For these reasons and more, it has become common material in automotive applications. By the year 2028, it is estimated that aluminum will account for about 16 percent of a vehicle’s total weight.[/size]
Strong and Safe
Aluminum has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than mild steel. Because of that, aluminum is often used in larger crush zones of vehicles. Using this metals in larger crush zones not only improves safety but increases performance. First, the decrease in weight allows for a shorter stopping distance. After all, we all know that a shorter stopping distance can be the difference between a near miss or a deadly collision. Secondly, when comparing metals’ strength-to-weight ratios, aluminum’s characteristics enable it to absorb twice the crash energy of mild steel. By manufacturing a vehicle’s crush zone from aluminum rather than steel, engineers can design crumple zones. This means that aluminum can be engineered to fold a very specific and predictable way in the event of a crash. Therefore, the aluminum can absorb the energy of the crash and help keep the passengers safe. This is extremely important in passenger vehicles.
With lighter vehicle weight, comes a greener product. But, you might be surprised why. This “greener” product not only comes from the tailpipe emissions. No. It comes from the entire life-cycle of energy. Yes, carbon (CO2) emissions are reduced with lighter weight vehicles and fuel efficiency is improved. However, using aluminum in manufacturing automobiles results in the lowest carbon footprint from “cradle-to-grave”. As stated earlier, most of aluminum is recycled. But did you know recycling this metal uses less energy than mining the ore?! All of this results in a decreased carbon footprint. Not only is less energy is required to produce these automobiles. But, less energy is required to operate them. It is no wonder why aluminum has become such a staple in the automotive industry.
Recyclable & More Energy Efficient
Not only is aluminum the most abundant metal on Earth, but it is the most recycled. Period. In fact, nearly 75 percent of all the aluminum manufactured in the world is still in use today. The automotive industry certainly takes advantage of this characteristic. Nearly 90 percent of all the aluminum, including automotive sheet, used in a vehicle is recycled at the end of its life. Will the cycle ever end? Not likely. Aluminum can be recycled into itself in a true closed loop. In recycling, the properties of aluminum remain unchanged. Also, the energy required to recycle aluminum is only 5 percent when compared to energy required to extract the element from ore. Abundance and recyclability are reasons aluminum is the Earth friendly option. Especially when compared to other metals, like steel.
2024: Good Strength-to-Weight Ratio & Fatigue Resistance
The 2000 series of aluminum alloys are known for strength. Alloy 2024 is just that: strong. This alloy uses copper as the major alloying element. Therefore, 2024 ranks high in the strength category. Alloy 2024 aluminum has an exceptional strength to weight ratio and excellent fatigue resistance. However, it has inferior corrosion resistance when compared to other aluminum alloys, such as 6061. This alloy has a poor rating for weld-ability and brazability. Furthermore, 2024 responds well to forming and high finish machining in the annealed condition. In addition, 2024 ranks excellently for fatigue resistance. Prime applications for 2024 aluminum in the automotive industry include: rotors, wheel spokes, structural components, and much, much more. Extremely high strength and great fatigue resistance are two reasons that alloy 2024 is utilized in the auto industry.
6061: Excellent Corrosion Resistance
When manganese and silicon are added to aluminum, the resulting alloy falls into the 6000 series. Stocked by Howard Precision Metals, the 6061 alloy is a heat treatable alloy with good corrosion resistance. This aluminum alloy is available in plate, sheet, and extrusions, including custom shapes. Used routinely in the manufacture of auto components and parts, 6061 aluminum possesses high strength-to-weight ratio. It also possesses good workability in the annealed condition. Alloy 6061 may also be fabricated effectively using a myriad of different common fabrication techniques. While not as strong as 2024, this alloy is definitely more versatile. Because of these properties, 6061 has become the “go-to” alloy for many different components in the auto manufacturing industry. Some automotive uses for the 6061 alloy include: ABS, cross members, wheels, air bags, joists, and many others.

Aluminium sheets is widely used in all walks of life, although the aluminum sheets itself has many advantages, but no matter how good the use of a long time will be a problem. Therefore, in order to maintain the performance and appearance of aluminum sheets, aluminum sheets to extend the service life, we still need to clean and maintenance of aluminum.
Cleaning is not only to keep the building wall clean and beautiful surface, but to regularly remove the plot on the surface of the paint on the paint will be against the pollution, to ensure the long-term quality of paint. The cleaning cycle depends mainly on the environmental conditions of the project location and the extent of the actual contamination of the board.
Building facades every year at least once a clean, indoor walls should be based on the actual level of corruption and surface cleaning.
Cleaning of building walls should be carried out from top to bottom with manual or suitable cleaning equipment. Please do not use abrasive objects to wipe the appearance of the paint

Aluminum aerosol cans are so popular, what are the advantages?
1、 Lightweight. Aluminum aerosol cans, as the name suggests, are made of aluminum alloy. The density of aluminum alloy is small, only 1/3 of that of steel. Therefore, aluminum aerosol cans are lightweight.
2、 Corrosion resistance. The surface of aluminum alloy is easy to form a dense oxide film, which can protect the aluminum plate and reduce corrosion; At the same time, under the joint action of certain metal elements in aluminum alloy, the corrosion resistance rate of aluminum alloy is greatly improved.
3、 Economic and environmental protection. Aluminum alloy profiles can be recycled after use, with low energy consumption during recovery, which is only equivalent to 5% of the original aluminum production.

The aluminum bottle is safe for drinking. We know that there have been some concerns surrounding the safety of aluminum related to the food industry. We would never produce aluminum bottles that are harmful to our customers. We are using inner coating from PPG and Valspar, and both of them guarantee BPA-free components.
We always go further when it comes to safety tests. We carry out the certified tests imposed by safety regulations and independent tests from third-party laboratories every year that help us exceed stipulated safety levels. We have food-grade test reports from the US FDA and European LFGB that prove our aluminum drinking bottles’ safety.
Our bottles have been tested with many different drinks, including acidic beverages, sparkling beverages, milk, alcohol, and apple and lemon juice. However, we recommend not leaving drinks with natural fermentation processes inside the bottle for long periods, such as apple juice or milk. This natural process can produce gases and strong smells, which can be difficult to eliminate.
Our company has decades of aluminum bottle production experience, and we are backed by thousands of customers’ positive reviews about our products.

Aluminum bottle is a bottle made of aluminum (or aluminium, in British English).
In some countries, it is also referred to as an aluminum flask or alu bottle.
Aluminum bottle is a type of metal bottle. It is made of a 1070A aluminum slug(99.7% Al). The production processes of aluminum bottles include impact extrusion, internal coating, Printing, necking, and thread forming steps.
Because of people being more environmentally conscious, the idea of using aluminum bottles will start to become more popular. However, you may notice that the price of aluminum bottles is a little bit higher than glass bottles or plastic bottles. So now the question arises of whether people will prefer buying the Aluminum bottles or not?
In 2021, a survey of 15,000 consumers showed that 57% were unlikely to buy products whose packaging was harmful to the environment. Furthermore, 44% refused to purchase products with harmful packaging. Results indicate that 73% of people would buy more environmentally friendly packaging. In addition, 20% say they are willing to pay more than 10% to purchase eco-friendly products.
Because of consumers have lost tolerance for packaging products that are not quickly or entirely recyclable, it demonstrates the replaceability of aluminum bottles, which are an excellent substitute for traditional plastic and glass bottles
