Novelis Inc., the world's leading aluminum rolling and recycling company, announced the launch of a precision-designed aluminum automotive body panel product-Advanz ™ 6HS-s650. Both performance and structural integrity far exceed industry standards, and is the highest strength product in the 6xxx series. Compared with the existing high-strength aluminum alloy, its use strength is 15% to 25% higher, and it has good crash performance and corrosion resistance.
6HS-s650 is part of Novelis' Advanz ™ product portfolio and is available to customers worldwide, demonstrating the company's continued commitment to working with customers to provide a variety of powerful, formable, lightweight aluminum products that drive the automotive industry future development. This product is suitable for applications that require higher strength, such as A-pillars, B-pillars, automotive floors, pipes, rocker arms, side crash door beams, bumper beams, roof side rail inserts, underframes, and battery shell components .
For many applications, 6HS-s650 reduces process costs and complexity by eliminating the need for heat treatment after forming, and it is 45% lighter than high-strength steels. In addition, when 6HS-s650 is effectively used in combination with other automotive structural materials, it can guarantee a long period of flexibility due to its long life.
Recently, Novelis has commercialized the 6HS-s650 product. At present, this product has become part of Novelis' Alumineering ™ electric vehicle battery housing solution, and has become a structural component of the main electric vehicle platform.
Novelis's latest 6HS-s650 can be used as a high-strength aluminum product and can be easily recycled as part of a closed-loop recycling process, allowing Novelis and its customers to maximize product value, reduce carbon dioxide emissions and transportation Cost, minimize environmental impact, and establish a secure supply chain.
