5052 aluminum sheet for bus body material

As the requirements for energy conservation and environmental protection continue to increase, lightweighting has become a mainstream trend in the automotive industry. Lightweight materials based on aluminum alloys are increasingly used, and the amount of aluminum used in the automotive industry has increased significantly. Aluminum alloys are also widely used in passenger bus manufacturing. Today we will explore the bus body material-5052 aluminum sheet.

Aluminum alloys for bus bodies mainly include frame profiles and bus skins. The body adopts a skeleton plus skin structure. The skeleton generally uses 6061 T6 aluminum sheet. The skin material mainly uses 5 series alloys, such as 5052 aluminum sheet, 5083 aluminum sheet, etc., of which the most commonly used is 5052 H32 aluminum sheet. 5052 aluminum sheet is an aluminum-magnesium alloy with good corrosion resistance and weldability, and is easy to process and shape. The 5052 aluminum sheet used for automobile skin can significantly reduce the weight of the bus body and promote the development of lightweight.

Advantages of 5052 aluminum sheet for bus body material

• 1. Greatly reduce the weight of the bus body to reduce energy consumption, reduce environmental pollution, and improve the fuel economy of the bus.
• 2. Reducing the weight of the vehicle body can move the vehicle’s center of gravity downwards, making the vehicle run more smoothly and improve driving safety.
• 3. The aluminum alloy bus body has strong corrosion resistance. The 5052 aluminum-magnesium alloy improves the stress corrosion cracking resistance of the aluminum sheet, reduces the tendency of welding cracks, and greatly extends the service life of the product.

The bus skin is made of 5052 aluminum sheet. Through precise sheet metal technology, the safety of the whole bus is improved, making it not afraid of bumps, good corrosion resistance and long service life. FLAIT ALUMINUM’s newly introduced six-roller cold rolling mill can produce 5052 aluminum sheets for automotive skins. The cold rolling mill effectively avoids the shortcomings of product surface roughness, pitting, and insufficient smoothness during the hot rolling process. It has fast speed and large rolling force. It produces aluminum sheets with good panel shapes, small thickness tolerances, and better surface quality,brighter and more refined. We can customize extra wide sizes.
