Inside Automotive Aluminium

Advancing #automotive efficiency and reducing weight has been a consistent goal since the early days of automobile production. #Aluminium and cars have come a long way together: The first time aluminium was used in a car dates back to 1899 when German engineer Heinrich Durkopp unveiled the first sports car with an aluminium body at the Berlin Motor Show. The light, strong, infinitely recyclable (and so much more!) material quickly became indispensable in the automotive industry. And this was just a few years after Carl Benz presented the first series-produced car in 1886, that revolutionized #transportation.

Aluminium is valuable at every stage of its life cycle. It can be recycled endlessly while maintaining its material properties, without any loss in quality or performance. Recycling aluminium only requires ~5% of the energy needed to produce it, and reduces carbons emissions by as much as 95%. Maximizing our use of recycled material is a core strategy for Constellium. We use a significant share of recycled aluminium in the manufacturing of our products. We already have a significant recycling capacity that we plan to substantially expand in the coming years.

Lightweight construction is crucial in the #automotive industry, and #aluminium continues to be a material of choice for automakers. It’s up to 40% lighter than steel, leading to improved fuel efficiency, agility, and overall performance. Our Constellium HSA6® high-strength and HCA6® high-crash extrusion alloys take it further, allowing the optimization of extrusion shapes and the reduction of wall thickness of safety and structural components to achieve another 10 to 15% of weight savings compared to traditional aluminium designs. Whether Crash Management Systems, Body-in-White Components, or Auto Body Sheet, #lightweight materials pave the way for a greener, safer, and more efficient automotive future.
