These parts on the car are already using new lightweight materials!

With the gradual improvement of emission index of automobile tail gas, automobile lightweight becomes increasingly important. Automotive lightweight is the integration of the advantages of new material lightweight, advanced technology lightweight and structure lightweight, and is a system integration engineering combining various elements such as improving the performance of automobiles and reducing the quality of rectification. According to the Worldwide Aluminum report, fuel consumption can be reduced by 6% ~ 8% for every 10% reduction in automobile reconditioning mass. CO2 emissions can be reduced by about 5g/km for every 100kg reduction in reconditioning mass. For every 1kg aluminum and magnesium alloy products used in passenger cars, exhaust emissions can be reduced by 20kg during their service life. For every 10% reduction in the reassembly quality of new energy vehicles, the driving range can increase by 5.5% under pure electric operation. [2] Magnesium alloy has become the most widely used lightweight material in aerospace, transportation, electronics and other fields due to its low density, high specific strength and stiffness, and good shock absorption.

As body structure parts, side pedals, light brackets, doors, etc., do not need to play a special performance, but belong to the part of the larger parts. With the requirements of energy saving and emission reduction on the lightweight of vehicles, magnesium alloy is undoubtedly one of the most ideal materials, which is known as the green environmental protection material in the 21st century.

As one of the lightest synthetic metals, magnesium alloy has been widely used in these parts.

Taishan Zhongmei Technology Co., LTD., which specializes in magnesium alloy production and research and development, has cooperated with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Land Rover, BYD, Ford and others to supply the following auto parts.

The side pedal is an accessory installed on the side of the car. On the one hand, it can assist the driver to get on and off the car, improve the convenience and comfort of use, on the other hand, it can protect the side skirt of the car from direct collision, so as to protect the body.

At present, the body of the universal automobile side pedal is generally made of sheet metal or pipe through bending, forming, welding and rigid whole, plus anti-corrosion spraying on its surface, which is now the conventional products in the market after the automobile side pedal. Such products are not only bulky, inconvenient to transport, but also poor versatility. The side pedals of magnesium alloy cars produced by China Magnesium are molded by integrated die-casting and weigh only 11kg, one third of that of aluminum alloy.

Taishan Zhongmei Technology Co., Ltd. is a Chinese company specializing in the research, development and application of magnesium alloy and aluminum alloy materials and products, providing precision parts of magnesium alloy/aluminum alloy high-pressure casting, semi-solid die-casting and liquid die forging for automotive customers. It covers an area of 120,000 kilosquare, with a total investment of 0.2 billion dollars and 400 employees. It is a new material and new energy enterprise. We had pass high-tech enterprise IATF16949:2016 Automotive management system certificate.

China’s abundant magnesium reserves account for more than 70% of the world’s total magnesium resources, including 27% magnesite, ranking first in the world. The development of magnesium alloy industry in China is in line with China’s resource strategy, the world’s demand for magnesium alloy, more competitive prices, and the industrial advantages of supporting facilities for magnesium alloy production. China Magnesium Company is located in Taishan, Guangdong Province, China, near Shenzhen port and Hong Kong, with lower transportation cost and logistics efficiency.

The magnesium ingot used by Zhongmei Technology Co., Ltd. is of high purity and complies with the standard Chinese magnesium alloy. In the process of production, the nozzle and waste are not reused to improve the purity of products, so that the performance of die-casting products is more stable.
