Novelis, Atlanta, announces that its Advanz 6HF – e/s200 heat-treatable aluminum alloy provides automakers greater design flexibility due to its superior formability, strength, and weight savings for automotive outer and inner applications. This alloy is now available in North America following successful applications in Europe. The alloy offers an excellent balance of properties: superior formability in the as-supplied temper, good in-service strength, and excellent bending even at peak strength.
Advanz 6HF – e/s200 is the latest addition to Novelis' existing 6xxx-series. This innovation is part of the company's continued efforts to provide automakers with sustainable, high-performance solutions that can help drive the future of the automotive industry.
"As a global leader in automotive alloy innovation, we offer solutions to meet the growing design and manufacturing needs of North American auto manufacturers," says Ganesh Panneer, Vice President and General Manager of Automotive, Novelis. "As automakers pursue more complex designs and increase the amount of in-vehicle content, the strength and advanced formability of Advanz 6HF – e/s200 unlocks new engineering potential while offering critical weight reduction compared to steel.”
