5182 aluminum sheet for lightweight new energy vehicles

The global shift toward electric mobility demands innovative materials solutions. 5182 aluminum alloy sheets have emerged as the material of choice for new energy vehicle manufacturers seeking lightweighting breakthroughs. Mingtai Aluminum, a leading global supplier, delivers EN AW-5182 compliant products to automotive OEMs worldwide.

This magnesium-manganese alloy achieves tensile strength of 270-320MPa with 12%+ elongation, enabling complex forming operations. When used in EV battery enclosures and chassis components, it reduces part weight by over 60% compared to steel, directly enhancing driving range. The alloy’s optimized microstructure provides exceptional resistance to electrolyte corrosion, crucial for battery pack durability.

Mingtai’s advanced CC-DC production line ensures surface flatness within ±0.1mm tolerance. Certified to IATF 16949 standards, the company implements 38-step quality control from smelting to final inspection. Products are available in T4/T6 tempers, thickness 0.8-6.0mm, and widths up to 2200mm, supporting just-in-time production requirements.

Case studies reveal that an Asian EV manufacturer achieved 18% vehicle weight reduction using Mingtai’s 5182 sheets, resulting in 12% cost savings. The material’s superior stampability increased battery housing production efficiency by 30% while maintaining welding defect rates below 0.5%.
