This document introduces a new aluminium alloy called Surfalex® HF that is designed for demanding automotive body parts. Surfalex® HF offers improved formability over existing alloys, allowing for more complex part designs and sharper character lines without compromising other key properties. Experimental testing and simulations validate that Surfalex® HF exhibits higher work hardening at high strains, enabling an estimated 10-15% better formability. Surfalex® HF maintains the same strength, surface quality, corrosion resistance, and hemming performance as existing alloys. The new alloy allows automakers to further reduce vehicle weight through more extensive use of aluminium in body panels.

Using liquid nitrogen as a coolant in final or skin pass cold rolling can dramatically increase
productivity by raising throughput, improving product quality and reducing rejects. G. Plicht and H.
Schillak of Air Products, and H. Höfinghoff and T. Demski of C.D. Wälzholz, describe the new Air
Products cool rolling technology.
Engine is one of the most significant component of road vehicles. High performance vehicles have their
engine supported by bracket. The engine mounting plays an important role in reducing the noise and vibrations, improving the
comfort and work environment of a vehicle. The present work deals with design modification of engine mounting bracket.
Modelling work has been carried out with commercial desktop CAD software and analyzed the modal performance with
Analysis software. Ribs has been adopted to the existing mounting bracket for its better performance structural, thermal and
modal analysis has been carried out with analysis software. Aluminium alloy, aluminium silicon carbide and magnesium alloy
are considered as the different materials of mounting bracket. Based on the analysis it is found that the aluminium silicon
carbide is superior suited for the modified V6 engine mounting bracket.
Constellium supports transportation manufacturers beyond a traditional supplier role, producing value-added products and solutions and managing complex supply chains.
Aluminium is the preferred material for all kinds of packaging. It is flexible, lightweight, keeps beverages cold, can be densely stacked and is easy to recycle. At Constellium, our high-value products range from screw caps to perfume bottles and we are a major recycler in the market

In this stretch-bending test, a high punch displacement is the key indicator of the ability to
form sharp lines. The given outer radii values depend on the tool geometry & setup.
Lower outer radii can be obtained with Surfalex® HF

Surfalex® HF also shows a lower in-plane anisotropy, that means a more similar forming
behavior in the 3 directions, and good hemming aptitude

23. Summary
Key trend for skin alloy developments = very few design
compromises when converting from steel to aluminium.
High formability is required (more complex and deep parts,
sharp lines, …)
Key forming parameter is strain hardening at high strains
We now offer a new skin outer alloy: Surfalex® HF with
significant improvements vs incumbent Al alloys
improved stamping of complex parts, including bodyside
panels
better ability to form sharp “character” lines
and with no compromise in
in-service strength
hemming performance
surface aspect quality
