AEC launches website tool for automotive industry

Chicago-based Aluminum Extruders Council has unveiled a new, interactive resource tool on its website for automotive design engineers. The interactive web page provides information on the effective use of aluminum extrusions in various vehicle components, systems, and subsystems and highlights technical details such as alloys, fabrication methods, and performance characteristics.

As visitors scroll over an image of a vehicle, a pop-up box appears to provide information on the selected system or component, offering a link to explore deeper into that particular application. Currently the site features detailed information on roof headers, battery boxes, sub frames, rockers, and cross members.

The website features aluminum extrusion technical details, applications, and case examples for automotive industry professionals.
