Automotive
The automotive industry’s shift toward lighter vehicles has made aluminum an essential structural material. Whether for electric vehicles, high-performance cars, or commercial vehicles, aluminum reduces weight without sacrificing strength.
Taiwan Ye Fong Aluminium supplies produce extruded and cold-drawn aluminum bar, seamless tube, and profile to automotive component manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers. We are ISO 9001 certified with full in-house process control across extrusion, cold drawing, heat treatment, and quality inspection.
Automotive Aluminum Alloys Materials We Supply
- 6061 (T6 / T651)
The most common alloy for automotive structural applications. Used in brake calipers, pump housings, suspension components, and structural brackets.
- 6082 (T6)
Slightly higher strength than 6061, widely used in European automotive applications for structural extrusions, seat frames, and chassis components. Increasingly specified in automotive fastener.
- 7075 (T6 / T6511)
High-strength alloy for performance automotive applications including seat track rails, suspension arms, and components requiring maximum strength-to-weight ratio.
- 6056 (T6)
Increasingly specified in automotive fastener and structural applications, particularly for EV battery enclosure components.
- 4032
Aluminum-silicon alloy with low thermal expansion coefficient. Used in piston applications and components operating at elevated temperatures.
