Aerospace industry grade materials in Vietnam
There are several different grades of aluminum, but some are more suited to the aerospace industry than others. Those types of aluminum are all popular in Vietnam and are still being practiced continuously by aluminum factories in Vietnam. Examples of such aluminum include:
2024 – The main alloying element of 2024 aluminum is copper. Aluminum 2024 can be used where a high strength-to-weight ratio is required. Like alloy 6061, 2024 is used in wing and fuselage structures because of the tension they receive during operation.
5052 – The highest strength alloy of its kind that cannot be heat-treated, aluminum 5052 offers ideal performance and can be drawn or formed into various shapes. In addition, it provides excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion in marine environments
6061 – This alloy has good mechanical properties and is easy to weld. It is a common alloy for general use and, in aerospace applications, used for wing and fuselage structures. It is especially common in home-built aircraft.
6063 – Often referred to as “architectural alloys”, aluminum 6063 is known for providing exemplary finishing properties and is often the most useful alloy for anodizing applications.
7050 – A top choice for aerospace applications, alloy 7050 exhibits much higher strength and corrosion resistance than 7075. Because it maintains its strength properties at wider sections, 7050 aluminum can maintain resistance to fracture and corrosion.
Aluminum alloy 7068 – 7068 is the strongest alloy currently on the commercial market. Lightweight with excellent corrosion resistance, 7068 is one of the hardest alloys available today.
7075 – Zinc is the main alloying element in 7075 aluminum. Its strength is similar to many sheets of steel, and it has good machinability and fatigue properties. It was originally used on the Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighter during World War II and is still used in aviation today.
Aluminum has proven to be very versatile throughout history and continues to be so to this day. The aerospace industry continues to benefit from the alloy’s properties to create safer, more reliable, and less expensive aircraft. This will ensure that aluminum will continue to be a valuable material in the future.

An aluminum alloy conductor is used for the communication cable. Aluminum-iron-magnesium is an excellent conductor of electricity and is currently used in several applications in the cable industry. In addition, since aluminum is a light metal, its application is easier and more cost-effective
Space satellite
This may not be known to everyone, however, consider satellites as the backbone of the worldwide communication network. If the world’s satellites were to fail for any reason, the state of communication networks around the world would be completely paralyzed. And of course, one of the most important ingredients in satellite construction is aluminum
The power of this metal is reaching far. It is an important part of satellite construction, but its use goes far beyond that. How do satellites go to space? They were put into orbit via space rockets. And what is one of the most important building materials for rockets that send satellites into space? Again, the answer is, aluminum!
Satellite dish
The aluminum satellite dish has the function of receiving signals from satellites. Satellite pans made from aluminum provide outstanding anti-corrosion performance, thanks to aluminum reflectors and stainless steel screws. The above satellite dishes are also lighter in weight and cheaper than pans made from other metals.

Autonomous car manufacturing enterprise in Vietnam
Vietnam’s auto industry has developed very rapidly in recent years. Auto parts manufacturing and assembly enterprises are gradually asserting their role and position in the domestic automobile market.
The localization rate in automobile production has shown positive signs
Vietnam’s automobile manufacturing industry began to form and develop 20 years ago, about 30 years later than other countries in Asia. However, the localization rate in this field has appeared many positive signals.
According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the number of cars produced in Vietnam in the past two years has increased rapidly. In particular, in 2020, the domestic market may surpass the Philippines (the country with the 4th largest car output in Southeast Asia) in both production and sales.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade also revealed that Vietnam currently has over 40 enterprises operating in the field of automobile assembly and manufacturing. According to data from the Vietnam Register, the output of domestically manufactured and assembled cars increased from 287,586 vehicles (in 2018) to 323,892 vehicles (in 2020).
Many Vietnamese enterprises have actively participated in the automobile production chain with a total assembly capacity of up to: 755,000 vehicles/year (of which, 35% are from the foreign-invested sector and 65% of enterprises). domestic industry).
Opportunities for the aluminum industry in Vietnam
With an increasing degree of autonomy in the domestic automobile manufacturing industry, manufacturers of aluminum components in automobiles in Vietnam are facing a huge opportunity to upgrade their brands, skills, and technology. This is both an opportunity and a challenge, however, with the right support and guidance of the Vietnamese Party and State, Vietnamese aluminum manufacturers are gradually moving towards international and export to the oversea market.
