Automotive metals are raw materials used to manufacture different parts of vehicles, such as bodies, wheels, chassis, panels, and doors. They comprise aluminum, steel, magnesium alloys, copper, plastics, composites, rubber, glass, leather, and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). They are easy-to-weld materials that can be cut and joined with conventional welding equipment and techniques. They are highly durable and cost-effective and assist in improving the fuel efficiency of vehicles. Automotive metals also aid in reducing the weight of vehicles and providing safety to drivers and passengers. Besides this, they offer thermal, chemical, and environmental resistance to vehicles for increasing their shelf-life.
