Ultimate Lightweighting

Our solutions enable maximum lightweight construction and thus reduce the weight of the overall vehicle as they are up to 40% lighter than steel and 10% lighter than conventional aluminium solutions thanks to Constellium’s proprietary alloy portfolio. This allows for improved fuel economy and lower emissions. For electric vehicles, weight savings means greater range.

Constellium HSA6™, a Family of High-Strength 6xxx Alloys

Offering superior formability, corrosion resistance, energy absorption, and recyclability, Constellium’s HSA6™ alloys are designed for aluminum extrusion-based structural components, as well as Crash Management Systems and EV battery enclosures. They allow designers to optimize extrusion shapes and reduce wall thicknesses to fit tighter package spaces and achieve a weight savings of 15-30 percent when compared to conventional aluminum alloys. In other scenarios, Constellium HSA6 is able to provide 15-30 percent additional strength to reduce intrusion in the event of a crash, protecting vehicle occupants while preserving the integrity of the vehicle and reducing potential repair costs.

High-Recycled Content

Characterized by its high recyclability and its specific capacity to use a higher level of postconsumer scrap, our HSA6™ portfolio can accept >80% recycled material. This positions Constellium ideally to meet the increasing focus on sustainability and CO2 footprint.

Thanks to its superior forming capabilities, aluminium components can be created in complex shapes, helping to reduce part count and assembly time. And aluminium components are well suited to multiple joining techniques, such as welding, adhesive bonding, self-piercing riveting, and others. At the end of the vehicle’s life, aluminium components can be recycled in a closed loop.
