Constellium announced it supplied aluminium automotive body sheets for the new Audi A6. The company delivered Surfalex® with high surface quality and particular hemming and roping properties for the doors as well as for the trunk.

It also supplied Securalex® P6, a high-tech crash absorption alloy, for the hood of the Audi A6. This highly formable alloy has been designed to fulfil the most demanding pedestrian safety requirements.

Dieter Höll, Vice President of Global Automotive at Constellium said: “Constellium is proud to extend its long-term partnership with Audi and to accompany them in their mission to build high quality automobiles. To do so, Constellium supports Audi in solutions not only for closures but also for body-in-white parts requiring specific crash and mechanical performance such as the ones offered by Securalex®.”

Constellium is the primary supplier of automotive body sheets for both closures and inner parts of this model. It manufactures components for its partner Audi to achieve its lightweighting, design and safety targets.

Constellium said this ongoing partnership showcases how aluminium continues to be a material of choice for automakers to lightweight vehicles for improved fuel economy, lower emissions and increased safety.
