NOVELIS DEUTSCHLAND GMBH OHLER® - FLEXROHRE - Heat & Energy Components

In the aerospace industry we specialize in the production of rolled aluminum plate and sheet materials for fuselage and wing structure components according to standard or customized specifications. The aerospace industry is building new aircraft to accommodate a growing number of air passengers and to replace older, less efficient planes with newer, more fuel-efficient models. Aluminum offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, energy efficiency, and high tolerance to extreme temperatures- making it an ideal material for the manufacturing of aircraft. It can also be recycled repeatedly, making it a good choice as manufacturers pursue sustainability initiatives. We have introduced new low-density alloys that represent an innovative step forward for aluminum in aerospace. Weight-savings from these new alloys translate into fuel efficiency and lower operating costs for the airline industry.

Novelis has created the first flat-rolled, aluminium-intensive electric vehicle battery enclosure designed for mass production vehicles. Learn more by downloading the product fact sheet. By utilizing Novelis’ highly-formable alloys, the battery enclosure provides automakers the ability to achieve deep drawn, complex shapes tailored to specific vehicle design requirements. The lightweight, high-strength material can help extend range, allowing vehicles to go 6-10 percent further on a single charge. With safety as a top priority, Novelis conducted extensive testing simulations to ensure its innovative, high-strength materials will protect batteries from road debris and vehicle crashes.

The automotive industry is advancing at an unprecedented rate and manufacturers are under increasing pressure to create high performance, fuel-efficient and aesthetically pleasing vehicles. With more than 40 years of experience in the automotive industry, Novelis has a rich history of innovating alongside our customers to make next-generation vehicles a reality. Novelis understands that each new vehicle model presents a unique challenge to automakers. To help answer new design challenges, Novelis has a team of specialists available to assess the mechanical properties, design flexibility and range of fabrication alternatives needed to realize next-generation vehicles. In addition to providing the right alloys, Novelis offers tailored finishes and designations for the highest-performing products. Our best-in-class joining solutions, like Self-Pierce Riveting (SPR) and remote laser welding, ensure the strongest possible adhesive joining and bond durability.

Novelis Advanz™ 6CM – s118 is a heat treatable product for automotive structural and inner applications. Advanz™ 6CM – s118 was primarily developed for hood inners, in order to meet the highest pedestrian safety requirements while also offering a 6xxx series uni-alloy solution. In the as-supplied temper, this product is soft and highly formable – ideally suited to form complex parts such as hood inners. Developed for inner closure panels with special requirements, Novelis Advanz™ 6CM – s118 has excellent forming characteristics as well as a superior bending performance. Advanz™ 6CM -s118 has moderate strength after paint baking and offers controlled energy absorption in a crash situation. All values are typical.
