Growing environmental concerns have accelerated the rapid development of the new energy vehicle (NEV) industry. As the core component of NEVs, the battery module demands stringent material selection and manufacturing processes for its critical parts, including the power battery case, battery cover, battery module side plates, automotive cooling plates, and 6061 aluminum sheet for EV battery pack tray.
The battery tray is a crucial safeguard for the safety of NEV battery systems, accounting for 20%-30% of the total weight. It requires materials with high precision, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and impact resistance. As the structural support of the entire battery module, the battery tray has undergone innovations in both materials and processes. Currently, the widely used material for battery trays is 6061 aluminum alloy.
Why is the 6061 aluminum alloy tray favored in the market? From a material perspective, 6061 aluminum belongs to the Al-Mg-Si alloy series, known for its excellent plasticity, corrosion resistance, weldability, and machinability. With a density only one-third that of steel, it is lightweight, aligning with the industry's pursuit of weight reduction. The application of lightweight technology significantly reduces vehicle weight and extends driving range.
NEVs represent a key focus in the automotive and energy sectors. As the adoption rate of NEVs rises in China, the domestic aluminum sheet market is poised for substantial growth.
Mingtai Aluminum, a leading aluminum sheet manufacturer, prioritizes market needs and is dedicated to the R&D and production of lightweight automotive aluminum materials. The company supplies aluminum for power battery cases, covers, module side plates, cooling plates, and 6061 aluminum sheet for EV battery pack tray, offering sample testing and original factory warranties.
