Canada takes steps to develop aluminum auto parts

Canada is one of the world's largest automotive industry countries. The famous automobile companies in the United States and Japan have automobile manufacturing plants in Canada, which has effectively promoted the development of the Canadian automobile industry. At the same time, Canada is one of the countries with rich non-ferrous metal resources in the world. The reserves of bauxite, zinc, magnesium, copper and nickel are among the best in the world.

With the rapid development of the global automotive industry and the continuous improvement of the global environmental protection law, the control over energy consumption has intensified. The auto industry is continuously seeking new materials for automobiles that reduce weight, reduce fuel consumption and reduce CO2 emissions. It has become one of the favored raw materials for automotive components and has been receiving attention from the automotive industry.

As a large producer of aluminum, the Canadian automotive industry has always attached great importance to the development and application of aluminum automotive parts technology. The AuTo 21 project is a Canadian automotive research and development project. It is a research and development partnership established between universities, research institutes and private companies. It is a well-known automotive research community organization in Canada. The project's annual research funding is approximately 12 million Canadian dollars. It is funded by various automotive industry companies in Canada. Research areas include materials processing, automotive powertrain components, artificial intelligence systems, and sensors. There are currently five projects supported by AuTo 21, focusing on automotive aluminum and magnesium. Automotive materials and processing studies account for a large proportion of the AuTo21 project.

As we all know, aluminum alloy castings for automobiles have been popularized in the automotive industry, but aluminum alloy plates for automobiles have great potential for development. The aluminum alloy chemically strengthened formability project at McMaster University in Canada is a research project focusing on the deep drawing of aluminum alloys. Because of the superior strength and light weight of aluminum alloys, automakers are very interested in using aluminum alloys as automotive body panels. However, because impurities in aluminum alloys reduce aluminum sheet formability and are difficult to stamp, McMaster University's research team approved The addition of rare earth elements to the aluminum alloy changes the properties of the aluminum alloy to meet the requirements of automotive aluminum plates, reducing impurities and facilitating press forming. Once the more promising chemical composition of aluminum alloys has been developed, the research team will try to produce slabs and roll them.
