Shandong Weiqiao Group launches six new aluminium alloy materials

Recently, the 8th International (Sanya) Aluminium Industry Chain Green Development Summit Forum occurred in Sanya, Hainan. In the event, a leading Chinese aluminium enterprise-Shandong Weiqiao Entrepreneurship Group introduced six new aluminium alloy materials with independent intellectual property rights, indicating a remarkable scientific advancement. The summit conference was participated by a collective of leaders, guests, industry experts, and business representatives, marking a significant time in history.

During the press conference, Zhang Hai, the President of Weiqiao Lightweight Research Institute, shared insights on the newly introduced WQAL ® WHS 340, 370, 400 high-strength corrosion-resistant aluminium alloy, WQAL ® CHF 110, 130 anti-fatigue cast aluminium alloy, and the WQAL ® CHP30 alloy, which is a heat treatment-free material specifically designed for integrated die-casting applications. These alloys have received professional recommendations.

Weiqiao Entrepreneurship Group created these ground-breaking materials following years of study and development. These materials possess exceptional mechanical qualities and demonstrate superior performance in several applications, including but not limited to automotive, aerospace, ocean engineering, and maritime industries. This material has many benefits, including enhanced strength, increased toughness, improved serviceability, environmental friendliness, and long-term viability. These advantages are anticipated to impact China's automotive lightweight and aluminium processing sector significantly.

Weiqiao Entrepreneurship has produced a series of novel aluminium alloy materials with autonomous intellectual property rights and attaining globally leading levels to fulfil the high-quality development and demand for automobile lightweight. The company has successfully registered the WQAL brand to compete with globally sophisticated firms. This trademark symbolises the Weiqiao Entrepreneurship New Materials brand and the company's autonomous intellectual property rights, reputation, values, duties, and promises.

Weiqiao Entrepreneurship Group is committed to the growth direction of "Innovation Weiqiao, Technology Weiqiao". It is speeding up the transformation and upgrading of the industrial chain in response to the national demand for high-quality development. The goal of the 10-year plan to make lightweight the third pillar industry of Weiqiao Entrepreneurship by 2030 led to the planning and construction of the Weiqiao Lightweight Base in 2019.

Weiqiao Entrepreneurship will continue to invest in new material research and development, enhance product quality and technology level, and support the upgrading and transformation growth of the aluminium processing sector in the future. Simultaneously, we intend to improve collaboration with all sectors, jointly encourage the development of the new material industry, and contribute more to the advancement and development of lightweight.
