Not just cars! Aluminum alloy forgings have been widely used in these fields
As a high-strength, lightweight, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant material, aluminum alloy forgings play a vital role in modern industry. Because of its unique physical and chemical properties, in addition to the automotive industry that we are familiar with, aluminum alloy forgings have also been widely used in aerospace, drones, bicycles and other fields.
Aerospace field
In the field of aerospace, the application of aluminum alloy forgings has a long history and far-reaching influence. From the birth of the first aircraft to the design of modern advanced spacecraft, aluminum alloy has always played the role of the core material. Aircraft landing gear, wings, tail and other key components, all rely on high-strength, lightweight aluminum forgings. These components not only need to withstand huge loads, but also maintain stable performance in extreme environments. The high strength and lightweight characteristics of aluminum forgings enable aircraft to achieve longer range and higher fuel efficiency while ensuring safety.
In addition, aluminum alloy forgings also have good corrosion resistance, which is particularly important for spacecraft operating in the complex and changeable space environment. For example, aluminum alloys are heavily used in the construction of satellites to ensure that they can withstand high temperatures and corrosion as they pass through the Earth's outer atmosphere.
Uav field
With the progress of science and technology and the improvement of military needs, UAV technology has developed rapidly, and the application of aluminum alloy forgings in this field has become increasingly extensive. The development trend of military UAVs is diversification and specialization, which is not only used for traditional tasks such as reconnaissance and strike, but also gradually expanded to many fields such as communication relay and electronic warfare. Aluminum alloy forgings have become key materials in UAV manufacturing due to their light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance.
In the UAV structure, engine, landing gear and other key components, the application of aluminum alloy forgings has greatly improved the performance of the UAV. Especially in the context of the pursuit of lightweight and improved load capacity, the demand for high-performance aluminum alloy materials continues to grow. The new mode of cooperative operation of UAV groups has put forward higher demand for key materials such as aluminum alloy. At the same time, with the continuous development of UAV technology and the expansion of application fields, aluminum alloy forgings in civilian fields such as aerial photography, agriculture, environmental monitoring, etc., have also shown huge market potential.
Bicycle field
In the bicycle, a traditional means of transportation, aluminum forgings also play an important role. As a non-motorized vehicle, the durability and lightweight of the components of the bicycle are essential to enhance the riding experience and safety. Because of its light weight, high strength and corrosion resistance, aluminum alloy forgings are widely used in the manufacture of bicycle frame, crank, wheel hub and other key components.
The application of aluminum alloy forgings not only reduces the overall weight of the bicycle, improves the flexibility of riding, but also enhances the durability of the components. For example, the crank and shaft forged with aluminum alloy can withstand high-frequency fatigue loads during riding to ensure long-term stable operation of the bike. In addition, aluminum alloy forgings also have good thermal conductivity, which helps to dissipate heat quickly during riding and improve the comfort of riding.
