Volkswagen Daily reported that on October 19, the first all-aluminum body of the Weiqiao Lightweight Base was rolled off the assembly line in Binzhou and mass production will begin. With the official launch of the first all-aluminum body, the base has a complete industrial chain of “from aluminum liquid-parts research and development, manufacturing-vehicle assembly”.
The Weiqiao Lightweight Base lays out the industrial structure according to the technological characteristics of aluminum alloys, and has built five production lines for melting and casting extrusion, aluminum plate stamping, casting, forging, and system integration. It is equipped with aluminum melt to parts production, assembly integration, and vehicle assembly. , The closed-loop model of the entire industrial chain of recycling and reuse, to achieve a green and energy-saving economic model in which aluminum water does not fall to the ground and is recycled and reused.
Weiqiao Lightweight Base is constructed by Weiqiao Ventures in cooperation with National University of Science and Technology, Suzhou University, Suzhou Aojie, Guangzhou Hede. At present, 5 projects in the base, including lightweight structural parts, all-aluminum body assembly, high-performance aluminum foam, aluminum profile, and pilot plant, are being put into production one after another. Among them, the liquid die forging production line is the first production line in Shandong. The workpieces produced are accurate in size, with an average weight reduction of more than 50% and performance improvement of more than 20%; body material composite connection technology, through high-temperature fusion friction welding and other processes, connect different materials at once Forming not only saves costs, but also increases strength.
