Aluminium
has replaced wood considered essential for architectural use.
It has gained access as material used in the manufacture of
furniture also. Aluminium is not corrosive metal, is lighter in
weight, and easy to handle, requires no seasoning like wood. It
has gained considerable liking by the architects and builders
alike. Doors and windows which give look as if made in wood most
of the time are of aluminium with powder coating in wooden
design. It has found its way into the kitchens, most of the
utensils there are in aluminium. Now with the beginning of the new millennium Aluminium has found its way in to the car manufacturing plants. More and more
automobile manufactures are changing over to this metal.
Aluminum is abundant in the nature. It is lighter than other
metals used in the manufacture of the automobiles. It is
recyclable and can undergo several recycles without loosing its
properties. With proper alloying and suitable heat treatment
it can have strength as good as any other material.That makes it the best suited material for making car body. Automobiles made out of this metal will be lighter in weight hence will have better acceleration. Lighter cars consume lesser fuel therefore cheaper to run. Cars low in mass to space ratio will produce less pollution hence will be environment friendly. With new technology of making alloys and heat treating methods it is possible to produce very strong car bodies in aluminum. The BMW displayed one such car all made with aluminium metal at a display in an exhibition at Essen Germany. Most essential operation in the car assembly is brazing, welding and spot welding of sheet metal. With the advent of new techniques more and more manufacturers are planning cars in the lighter and so called Aluminium the material of future. |
