According to a study by the Heidelberg Institute for Energy and Environmental Protection (IFEU), aluminum-based vehicles can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save fuel. The London International Aluminum Research Institute (IAI) also reached the same conclusion.
In 2006, the use of aluminum to manufacture passenger cars reduced CO2 emissions by approximately 140 million tons and saved 60 billion liters of crude oil over the life of passenger cars. IAI experts disclosed this information at the China Aluminum and Transportation Academic Conference in Dalian, China. In general, IFEU research shows that if all vehicles (including cars, trucks, railway locomotives, airplanes and ships) use aluminum to reduce weight, they can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 660 million tons per year, equivalent to global 9% of traffic emissions.
According to experts from the International Aluminium Association, this conclusion is based on the research data of the International Aluminum Association and the life model of the development of the aluminum industry. The model considers greenhouse gas emissions from aluminum production, vehicle use and waste disposal.
The IAI study compared the use of high-strength scrap and high-strength scrap. Compare the use of bumpers and car shells in European and American cars. The aluminum bumper is 2.6 kg lighter than the high-strength steel bumper. Aluminum bumpers can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 48 kilograms during a driving cycle of 200,000 kilometers. The weight of the aluminum shell is 42% lighter than the high strength steel shell. In the 200,000-kilometer driving cycle, carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by 131 kg due to the use of an aluminum casing.
In order to enhance the protection of the aluminum profile, some surface treatment is usually carried out. Different surface treatment film thicknesses can be distinguished according to actual needs. The unit of film thickness is usually expressed in microns and is commonly referred to as μ. Jiahua Aluminum Co., Ltd. introduced the thickness of several commonly used surface treatment films as follows:
1. Aluminum alloy anodized surface treatment film thickness:
The thickness of the surface oxide film of the aluminum profile is mainly divided into four grades according to the requirements, namely AA10, AA15, AA20 and AA25, that is, the average thickness of the surface film of the aluminum alloy profile is 10m, 15m, 20m, 25m, respectively, and the surface of the aluminum alloy section is partially The thickness is not less than 8Um, 12Um, 16Um, 20U.
2. Aluminum alloy powder coating surface treatment film thickness: The coating film thickness of the aluminum alloy powder coating surface is generally not graded. Usually, the average film thickness is not less than 40 μm, and the local film thickness is not less than 35 μm.
Aluminum alloy fluorocarbon spray surface treatment film thickness:
Aluminum alloy fluorocarbon spray coatings generally fall into two categories: one type of coating and three types of coating. The average film thickness of the two layers was 30 μm, the average film thickness of the three layers was 40 μm, and the local film thickness was not less than 25 μm and 34 μm, respectively.
Aluminum alloy surface electrophoresis treatment film thickness:
The thickness of the electrophoretic film on the aluminum surface is generally divided into three grades: A, B, and S.
Class A: 12um oxide film + 9um electrophoresis film, the local thickness of the composite film is not less than 21um.
Grade B: 9 micron oxide film + 7 micron electrophoresis film, the local thickness of the composite film is not less than 16 microns.
S grade: 6 micron oxide film + 15 micron electrophoresis film, the local thickness of the composite film is not less than 21 micrometers.
Of course, the customer can negotiate the film thickness with the manufacturer according to the actual use needs, so that the use of the aluminum profile is more targeted. In general, the thicker the film, the better the protection of the aluminum profile.
