Expertise in working with aluminium
Aluminium has been used as a carbody material since the very beginnings of car manufacture. The properties that make aluminium so versatile and flexible include in particular its low density (low weight), extremely high strength, outstanding durability, excellent conductivity of electricity and heat as well as resistance to corrosion and weathering. In the car manufacture, the lightness of the metal in particular is decisive, as in comparison to a steel body the weight of an aluminium body can be reduced by up to 50 %. Due to these numerous advantages aluminium has come into increasing use in car manufacture over recent years. However, especially in series production, the material still makes increased demands on the processes both in press and body shop. Precision work is essential at all times.
ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer has demonstrated its expertise in forming and joining technology for aluminium in the course of numerous projects. Its wide experience in aluminium processing today makes ThyssenKrupp Drauz Nothelfer a specialist in the use of aluminium in car manufacture.
