Superplastic aluminum alloy sheet

Superplastic material has elongation of more than several hundred percent at high Before stretching
temperatures.
Using the blow-forming method (using compressed gas to force heated material into
a metal mold), superplastic aluminum alloy sheet permits greater design flexibility.
The UACJ superplastic aluminum alloy sheet marketed as ALNOVI, is now being After stretching
adopted extensively.

Aluminum alloy sheet for
high-strength structural components

Aluminum alloy sheet designed for high-strength

structural components is suitable for use in Motor Fan illustrated

automobile framework structures. The 7075 alloy
(ultra-super duralumin) features the highest level of

tensile strength, proof stress, and fatigue strength.
It is used for chassis and subframes.

Power Plant Frame

This is an original Mazda-developed frame
that increases the rigidity of the drivetrain and
solidly connects the transmission to the
differential housings. The frame is made from
UACJ’s high-strength aluminum alloy sheet. 07
